I'm Chelsea Swank. My father opened his jewelry store in 1973 in Downtown Portland it was called The Silver Hammer. Over the years he has had a few different storefronts and over time the name changed to Gary Swank Jewelers. In 2011 I started hanging around the shop and quickly became enamored. I decided to go full-time here and apprentice my father to learn the jewelry trade. Shortly after I started here my younger brother, Grayam, decided to come on board as well, he was here until about 2015. We all do our own CAD designs and have our own unique aesthetics.

All of the work is done here in our shop, from the idea to the wax, casting, metalwork, and stone setting and polishing and finishing.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

Offbeat Bride readers seem to appreciate our cosmic and goth wedding ring designs — especially our skeleton wedding rings and celestial designs.

I couldn’t be more pleased with this ring! It is so beautifully unique! I cannot wait to propose to my girlfriend with this ring - it couldn’t be more perfect! So grateful to the seller for providing such a high quality, alternative style!

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.

Promotions or Discounts

Everyone likes a coupon, but our readers LOVE feeling special, and like their specialness matters and gets them a deal. They especially love discounts or coupons specifically for marginalized communities or identities. If you've ever had a particular client you've wanted to work with (say, a transgender bride or a goth couple or a polyamorous triad) this is the spot to offer a discount specifically to those communities!
