FROM THE FOUNDERS

OUR STORY

Our tale mirrors yours in many ways—a narrative steeped in love, symbolic gifts, and growth. To truly capture the essence of Staghead Designs' journey, we must acknowledge pivotal moments. It all commenced in 2012 when an antler shed, discovered on the lush hills beyond our home, ignited a spark of imagination within us. Unimpressed by the conventional choices of engagement rings, it was the antler—encountered on one spring day—that offered us a bold challenge: to handcraft a ring from this touch of the wild. Lacking formal expertise in such artisanship, we discovered that conviction, driven by a heartfelt mission, can spur inventiveness.

Our weekends were spent at the local farmer's market, where our modest artisanal creations provided the funds to acquire essential tools. Armed with these implements, our ambition was to mold a piece of jewelry from the antler. Though raw and crude, our first foray charted a course toward relentless refinement. We devoted many nights, nestled on our living room floor, to delicately shaping bone and later wood, using a hand-held Dremel. With every attempt, the craft was honed, propelled by the delight in our blossoming talents and the pride in every finished product.

What began as a desire for something distinct and personalized, a compelling artistic impulse, has flourished into a business still firmly anchored in its initial values: to create pieces with connection and meaning. Jewelry, so intrinsically linked to personal stories and experiences, carries an elegant capacity for importance. Crafting such treasures is a privilege, and we do so with reverence, breathing life into your visions, crafting jewelry not just of beauty, but destined to become treasured family heirlooms.
