Jade Atelier — Private Stone Selection & Custom Forged Heirlooms
Jade Atelier is the private custom forging division of Bootleg Silver Co. — offering artisan-selected jadeite, hand-cut cabochons, and heirloom custom work rooted in Southwest craftsmanship.
Each stone is personally sourced, evaluated, cut, carved, and polished by Suzette Meyers within the Bootleg Silver Co. studio. Materials may include Burmese jadeite, Guatemalan Type A jadeite, nephrite jade, American turquoise, Mediterranean coral, and complementary natural stones selected for depth, movement, translucency, and character.
Unlike mass-produced settings, every custom forge begins with the material itself — allowing each finished piece to evolve organically around the stone’s natural composition and individuality.
Available custom work may include:
• Hand-forged jadeite cuffs
• Statement pendants
• Rings and heirloom settings
• Shadowbox work
• Mixed-metal Southwest designs
• Collector bolo ties and adornments
Clients may commission one-of-one heirloom pieces using available Jade Atelier materials or collaborate on fully custom forged designs developed through private consultation.
Natural variation in color, matrix, translucency, and stone composition is preserved intentionally as part of the final work.
As shared by a GIA-certified jade specialist:
“I’ve loved jade since I first encountered it, but seeing it worked in a completely original way—independent of traditional Asian influence—is rare. Paired with these materials, it feels as though they’ve always belonged together.”
Private commissions available upon inquiry.
Legacy in metal. Heritage in stone.
