The House Standards & Story
The principles that govern every piece we forge - and the history that shaped them.
How the House Took Shape
From the first ring to an international atelier, each year marked by a defining work.
2019 - The House Is Established
First Morgan Silver Dollar Ring
Silver State Foundry is formally established, and the House begins offering forged silver coin rings.
The successful forging of a full-ounce Morgan Silver Dollar establishes the foundational form—defining weight, durability, and proportion that would guide all subsequent work.
2020 - Expansion Into Sovereign Gold
First American Gold Eagle Ring
As demand shifts online, the House introduces sovereign gold work.
The first American Gold Eagle ring marks a significant expansion in material discipline, requiring tighter tolerances, refined heat control, and higher finishing standards.
2021 - Process Refinement and Structural Work
Morgan Silver Dollar Money Clip
With operations fully online, the House focuses on process and customer care at scale.
The Morgan Silver Dollar Money Clip introduces structural forming beyond rings, translating coin forging into a functional object without compromising integrity or detail.
2022 - Precision and Responsibility
First Opal Inlay Ring
Advanced silversmithing techniques allow gems, precious stones, and reclaimed precious metal to be transformed into new forms.
The first opal inlay ring reflects a shift toward precision setting and material integration, requiring exacting tolerances and careful thermal management.
2023 - Design Maturity and Goldsmithing Depth
Indian Princess Gold Cuff
Historic international coin offerings expand, and relationships with key institutions deepen.
The Indian Princess Gold Cuff demonstrates advanced goldsmithing beyond coin transformation, introducing complex curvature, structural reinforcement, and continuity of finish across larger gold surfaces.
2024 - Production Stewardship Expanded
Striped Morgan Cuff
A second workbench is established in Florida to support fulfillment and stewardship.
The striped Morgan Cuff refines an earlier form, reflecting the House’s growing emphasis on restraint, proportion, and resolved design language.
2025 - International Design Bench Established
Spanish Gold Shipwreck Bracelet
A design workbench is established in Barcelona, expanding international sourcing and exploratory custom work.
The Spanish Gold Shipwreck Bracelet reflects this evolution—introducing historic European gold, complex provenance verification, and a broader material vocabulary while remaining aligned with the House’s standards of restraint and permanence.
2026 - The House Rearticulated
Standards, Presentation, and Care
Silver State Foundry undergoes a comprehensive rearticulation of its standards, presentation, and customer care systems—aligning the House for its next phase while preserving the principles established from the beginning.
The House Standard
Silver State Foundry does not operate as a workshop. It operates as a House of Heritage.
Every piece is governed by a single principle: we forge only what is worthy of being passed down.
That standard governs the coins we select, the metals we refuse, the tolerances we accept, and the care we provide long after a piece leaves the Foundry. Decisions are deliberate, and responsibility does not end at delivery.
We do not work in plated metals. We do not use replicas. We do not produce mass inventory.
Each commission is forged individually, inspected personally, and supported for the life of the piece.
This is not fashion jewelry.
It is sovereign coinage transformed into permanent personal artifacts — made to be worn, lived in, and ultimately passed down.
Why Sovereign Coinage
Sovereign coins — struck under the authority of nations and their mints — were never meant to be decorative.
They were created to represent permanence, trust, and national reserve value. Designed to endure beyond political cycles, economic swings, and generations.
By forging heirloom jewelry from sovereign coinage, we preserve not only metal, but meaning. Each piece is chosen deliberately for its origin, year, mint, and recorded past, and stewarded through a process that respects what it once represented.
These are not recycled alloys melted and recast anonymously.
They are historical instruments given a second life — one that now carries your story forward.
The Founding
Silver State Foundry was established by a U.S. Army veteran with a simple directive: create jewelry that would still matter when its first owner is gone.
What began as a private workshop evolved into a House defined by restraint, inspection, and lifetime stewardship. Every piece is forged by hand. Every coin is selected deliberately. Every commission is built one at a time, according to the same standard.
The Foundry has never chased scale. Production has never been outsourced. Material standards have never been lowered to increase margin.
The House exists to preserve permanence in an era of disposability.
Lifetime Stewardship
Stewardship, as we use the term, means taking responsibility for a piece beyond the moment it is made. Every piece forged by Silver State Foundry is stewarded for life.
Permanent records are maintained for each commission, preserving its specifications and history. The Foundry remains available to care for the piece as time and wear inevitably take their course. That care includes lifetime resizing, refinishing, and restoration, performed to the same standards used when the piece was first forged.
Structural integrity is not an afterthought. It is actively preserved for as long as the piece remains under the Foundry’s mark.
Stewardship does not end at purchase.
It begins there.
A ring may change hands over time.
Our responsibility to it does not.
The House, In Practice
Silver State Foundry operates as a distributed House, with each location serving a defined purpose in the life of the work.
The House was founded in Nevada, where its standards were established and its philosophy set.
Commissioned pieces are forged and fulfilled from Florida, where production and delivery are handled with consistency and care.
Design exploration and historic sourcing extend internationally, with a dedicated workbench in Barcelona supporting research, material study, and select one-off artifact creation.
This structure allows the House to remain disciplined in its standards while expanding its material vocabulary with restraint.
