About us

Eileen “Pepper” Rodgers comes from an established jewelry family in Texas. Her father, Robert R. Reed, was a successful Jeweler and Watch Repairman from the 60’s and 70’s in San Antonio, Texas. Pepper grew up around beautiful jewelry, designed and crafted by her father who inspired her to develop and design her own jewelry years later. Pepper has been wire wrapping Buck’s cabochons for the past 10 years. She has an uncanny ability to take those stones and wrap them artistically into a pleasing design destined to become an heirloom. She is a stickler when it comes to crafting her designs. She is also sought out from all over Texas and beyond for custom creations.

Sam “Buck” Rodgers, Pepper’s husband, is a lapidarist with a keen eye for transforming rough stones into cabochons that are breathtaking. From these stones he cuts and polishes cabs that are frequently incorporated by Pepper into her own designs. In addition Buck is also a chain maille artist and woodcarver. His chain maille pieces demonstrate his imaginative abilities, and once completed are amazing and unique. His artistry in architectural woodcarving techniques allows him to carve from many types of wood creating a myriad of images. From one of a kind rifle stock designs, thermometers, and whatever comes to mind.
