Kick-Ass Jewelry For
People Who Kick Ass.
SILVER PISTON
Since 2014, I’ve been handcrafting my jewelry in downtown Atlanta. My work has a strong Americana vibe, with Buffalo nickel rings being a signature element. I also incorporate hand-engraved hobo nickels, all carved by Shane "Hobo" Hunter in Toledo, Ohio.
I’ve been a full-time artist since 2015, starting with jewelry and later expanding into photography, with the occasional graphic design project. I earned my BFA in graphic design from UT Chattanooga.
ATLANTA MADE
I started Silver Piston making jewelry by hand and nothing’s changed. I still cut out my coins one at a time. Each ring starts from a flat piece of metal when it cut to size then made into a ring that’ll be pretty kick ass. I also make some other accessories that’s all done one at a time. Finally, I’m still in downtown Atlanta.

I started off as graphic designer after getting my BFA in design in 1996, four years after I got out of the navy. These days I’m what some would call a multi-disiplinary artist because I’m also making some of my living doing portrait photography and on occasion, I’ll take on a design project here and there especially if there’s nice typography.
