Announcement
Hello :) We are the Rūd Company - pronounced "ROOD". We are a family owned and operated business, with our company name a play on our surname, "Swensrud" (swenz' ROOD). We make artisan jewelry, accessories, and trinkets for those who must have something truly unique.
I'm Bonnie Swensrud, and my family and I proudly design, forge, and finish every item you see in this shop. I've been a silversmith for 23 years, and this business is the heart of our family. Most of our work is in soft metals like fine and sterling silver, copper, brass, bronze, and gold. We love to include natural stones and minerals, adding to the meaning and energy of our pieces. Our small shop is in the Pacific Northwest, in the shadow of the beautiful Mt. Rainier. Our work is inspired by beautiful thick green forests, abundant marine life, teeming lakes and ponds, the smell of rain, ancient petrified wood and agates, the profound experiences of everyday life, and the bounding laughter of our five children.
Each of our collections has a special story. Every member of our family is involved in our process - from the choosing of the stones from all over the world, to the design ideas, to the strength and architecture of the pieces. Every single item in our collections is one-of-a-kind - from the hand-sawing of the silver, to the rare and beautiful stones, to the hand-pressed dies made from antique hubs, the soldering of the accents, and finally to our quality mark.
Most of our work shows "Attitūd" to go with our Rūd themes... it is not for the faint of heart. We are Rūd Company - and we chose that name because our collective life experiences shine through our handcrafted items. That's why each new "drop" of designs from our workbench carries the "Rūd" title. We hope you find humor and art as well as heirloom quality. Some of our more iconic anthologies: "Resting Rūd Face", "Rūd Mama", "Rūd Rides" and "The Tao of Rūd".
When you purchase our art, you are not just obtaining a beautiful, handcrafted item - you are also receiving a piece of our story. Our heart, our energy, our effort and our family all come bundled in every piece we make. We hope you love it.
Our original art ships within 1-3 business days. Custom orders are closed at this time. Our packaging is suitable for gift giving.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
I am happy to customize your order by adding a disc or tag with personalized information. I can also stamp the back of some items. If you'd like an item similar to one pictured, but maybe in a different metal or with a different phrase, etc., just contact me. I can often accommodate! Of course, charges may apply.
Care instructions
All natural metals, including silver, copper, and brass, will naturally tarnish over time. This can easily be corrected with a treated polishing cloth, or if your item is antiqued or brushed, steel wool #000. Questions? Just let me know.
Gift wrapping and packaging
All of my items arrive in packaging suitable for gift giving. I am also happy to send directly to your recipient with a gift card, free of charge. Just let me know when you order.
