Patricia Riley Metalsmith is a well established Artisan Designer Metalsmith working in a Private Studio in Fort Worth, Texas. PRM specializes in Custom Design and Creations using only the highest quality Precious Metals and Genuine Gemstones. She is best known for her STATEMENT COLLECTIONS pieces that are One of a Kind and designed with the Customer in mind, taking the time to work with you every step of the way to create the piece you have envisioned in your mind. Over the years, new technologies have presented hard choices to Artisans about what exactly it means to be an “Artist” and what was important as an “Artist”. From a Purist View, it is our opinion that the Artist has to stay close to the creation process in order for a piece to be classified as “Handmade”. There are many new technical “advances” that remove critical parts of the process away from the Artist’s Hands so that it becomes Machine-made rather than Hand-Made. We have actively chosen to remain an Artisan Studio.
