Jim Brandvik
I'm a metal artist, jeweler, engraver and tool maker. I strive to make jewelry and metal art which is unique and original. My work is strongly influenced by the cowboy lifestyle yet with an eye toward old world art and sculpture. As a tool-maker, my goal is to offer innovations to make the difficult tasks a bit easier for metal-smiths.
