Todd Alan Gallery
For over thirty-seven years, Todd Alan has been hand crafting one-of-a-kind pieces of intricate jewelry. His self-taught signature style is treasured all over the world. Online since 1999, when Todd started his web-based store “Hand Woven Bands,” Todd has handmade and shipped over 16,000 wedding rings and engagement rings to couples all around the world.
Every piece is a very involved step-by-step process:
It has taken over three decades for Todd to master this unique and one-of-a-kind art form of hand braiding and swirling gold. Every step of the process requires rare jeweler skills and years of repetitious mastery to create these intricate yet sturdy designs.
In a world of mass production, most pieces of jewelry are machine cast or stamped. Here, Todd makes every single one on his bench, one at a time. This jewelry is not cast, or mass produced, but uniquely and individually handcrafted creations. Todd Alan is one of the finest gold weavers in the world. He is a traditional bench jeweler, who uses traditional tools and a hand torch. Raw metal round wire is poured, cut, woven, forged, fused, and filed by hand. Todd Alan has been a full-time metalsmith creating heirloom jewelry since 1986.
In the historic district of Burns Court, Todd has envisioned a store that reflects the ambiance of a time of old hand-crafted artistry, a signature of his fine jewelry. From there, he sells his one-of-a-kind art jewelry to fine galleries, specialty shops, and online customers all over the world. Inspired by the patterns of nature, Todd’s unique art form has evolved into his signature style. Each piece of jewelry is a miniature work of art. You can see him on YouTube as ‘The Ringmaker” and see how he creates each piece by hand. He has spent the summer designing and building by hand each piece of furniture and each wooden glass case creating a store that is a work of art in and of itself.
Only working with the finest metals and gemstones and diamonds, Todd weaves intricate one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces reminiscent of vintage filigree handwork with a contemporary expression.
Every Ring Is Treasured
“I take my time with every ring and every customer because I know how special every wedding is and how treasured your wedding rings are and will be. They are the symbol of your love and a reminder of your connection to the one you love every day.” – Todd Alan (The Ringmaker)
Part of Your Story
“I truly love my work, I enjoy every aspect, from the phone call consultations, through the creating of the rings, to seeing customer’s photos when they come in my email. I’m a small shop artist and I prefer it that way. I like having a connection to the couples I work with. To me, the whole point of having your rings handmade is to have a human connection to the process of where your rings came from. They become part of the story of your marriage, weaving lives together.” – Todd
Jewelry Should Be Handmade
“To me jewelry should be handmade. So many things in our world are factory-produced, not unique or original. I take my time with every piece because I know how special it is going to be for you. Thank you for your interest in my work.” – Todd
Customer Reviews:
“My tritone swirl wedding ring is THE most beautiful piece of art and craftsmanship I have ever owned, and I am particular about high quality, beautiful jewelry!! I’ve been wearing my ring over a year now and it’s very comfortable, plus a delight to behold each day.
Todd listened well, and although we had very little phone time (I custom ordered this online), his artistic talent and intuitive skill produced a ring far more beautiful than we expected. He also allowed my husband and me to add our own touch by incorporating pieces we created into the ring. Todd is a truly talented artist, and I highly recommend him and his staff!!!” – Katy Chapman Turmo
“Twelve years ago, Todd created our wedding bands. We love them so much. His work is beautiful. I had to send my ring back to Todd to be resized and was terrified to mail it, but I did. Yesterday I was able to slip this ring back on after almost a year of not being able to wear it. Todd’s talent is beyond… and his daughter, Lyra, is just a joy to deal with. If you want something original that will stand the test of time, Todd Alan is your man!” – Margaret Sommer
“Todd made our wedding bands 9 years ago and we have always received compliments on them. They are so well made and absolutely works of art.
I just sent some old ring and jewelry to Todd a few months ago and asked him to make me a swirl ring for my right hand using the diamonds and Ceylon Sapphires from 2 of the rings I sent to him, and I just received my new ring. It is absolutely Amazing. I could not be happier.
If you are considering a ring from Todd, do not even think twice, just order it! You will not be disappointed!
Thank you so much, Todd!” – Michelle Lindberg
