Tradition is not for everyone
About RusticForMen
RusticForMen is a brother company to Hot Rox Custom Jewelry. Both Etsy shops offer original designs that are hand crafted by Robin Largo in her studio. Robin approaches each ring as a piece of art with her goal being to create something compositionally pleasing, spontaneous and soulful.
She uses traditional fabrication techniques but her designs are anything but. Symmetry and mass produced perfection is not her goal. Many of her designs combine sterling silver with colored gold and a touch of black rhodium for a look that is rich and meaningful. (See Mosaic and Viking series)
Each ring is custom made and no two are alike. Robin does not use a template or cast her pieces. Some processes, like reticulation (Scorched Earth design),melting gold, hammering and carving (Glacier rings) guarantee that each ring will have its own character.
Inspired by the organic and the idea of union and unity, Robin loves making rustic bands. Core to her business is a monthly donation to Our House of Hope Dog Rescue. To date, she has contributed over $22,000.
