About
Helen Chantler and Marc Choyt, a husband and wife team, started our company in 1995. Previously, Marc was an English teacher at a school for Native Americans. Helen was a jeweler working for another company. The company grew tremendously for the first many years, and at one point, we were selling our jewelry in hundreds of stores and catalogs and in North America. However, since 2009, we have quit the trade show circuit and have been focusing on our websites, www.ArtisanWeddingRings.com and www.CelticJewelry.com, and our Santa Fe jewelry store. We are best known for our unique and unusual designer wedding rings and contemporary Celtic jewelry. Our two-tone, mixed metal fabrication techniques are rooted in traditional southwestern jewelry. We do not design using computer CAD programs, though sometimes we do carve wax models. Pieces are hand cut and stamped from sheet metal before being formed. This technique gives the work a refined yet hand hone look that stylistically has been a key to our success. Our Ethical Jewelry Commitment We make our product with recycled sterling silver and gold in a studio adjacent to our Santa Fe jewelry store. We also offer fair trade gold upon request and have a variety of ethically sourced gemstones. Marc is a prominent figure in the International ethical sourcing jewelry community. He founded Fair Jewelry Action, an environmental justice and human rights organization within the jewelry sector and is considered a leading authority on fair trade and fair mined jewelry issues. As a journalist, he has published seminal articles in trade and consumer publications.
