About Valk 9

Hello! My name is Andrew James Nagel. I was born in W.A. state and moved to Montana when I was very young. I have always had a fondness for fantasy, nature, sci-fi and anything mystical I use these elements as inspiration for my works. I love to get out and explore and give back to the world that has given me so much. I started my journey into metal work in 2015, and it slowly started to take over my life in the best way possible. 

​

As I write this, I am currently 31 years old. I have been making jewelry for a little over 10 years now, and my how that artform has changed over the years. the styles and craftsmanship is always evolving. 

I started selling on Etsy and maintained a 5-star shop for 3 years before moving to this website to host my work. 

​

I pride myself in making every step of the piece in house, I unfortunately do not cut gemstones yet, But I plan on teaching myself that skill as well one day. I am MMOSTLY self-taught, but it would be an absolute lie to say that I have never had to ask for help on this journey. I try to offer tutorials on YouTube and Patreon to help spread knowledge of this incredible art form. It truly has saved my life multiple times over.

​

I hope you enjoy my art! If you would like a custom request, please fill out the form below, I will get back to you with my thoughts on the project ASAP. I can make almost anything you could imagine!
