Walt Rush

I am an internationally recognized, and award winning  self-taught gold and silversmith with over 55 years of experience. My father, Bill, was an architect, and my mother, Shirley, was a painter. Artistic talent has been in my family for generations.
 

Each piece I create is guided by the natural textures, colors, and inherent characteristics of the stones and metals. This organic approach ensures that every design is unique and one of a kind.

My work encompasses a wide range of techniques, including water casting, straw casting, seagrass casting, wax carving, lost-wax casting, and traditional hand fabrication in both silver and gold.

For more than five decades, I have collaborated with individual clients, designing custom jewelry and restoring cherished heirlooms. When creating a piece for a client, I carefully consider their personal energy and aura, allowing it to shape the final design.
Nature remains my primary source of inspiration, whether drawn from the sea, the forest, or the raw beauty of the natural world.
