BRACELET CARE

Please handle your GaleForce Design bracelet with the same care as other cherished pieces of jewelry. It’s advisable to keep it away from water, lotions, sprays, cleaners, perfumes, abrasives, and similar substances to maintain its quality and longevity. The bracelet is coated with a protective metal sealer, which helps safeguard it against tarnishing and ensures its long-lasting beauty.

Drawing Inspiration from the Heart of Nature

As a child, I spent countless hours exploring the enchanting woods and serene lake near my home. I observed the intricate details of plants, flowers, trees, and animals, marveling at their ability to thrive in specific environments. Turtles, frogs, minnows, lightning bugs, dragonflies and butterflies became my childhood friends and remain my greatest sources of inspiration in crafting jewelry. Nature-inspired designs hold a special place in my heart, reflecting the unique beauty of our environment.

“Growing up as a spirited tomboy, I never had an affinity for jewelry. However, the art of metalsmithing changed my world forever. The fusion of my passion for hands-on craftsmanship and artistic creation transformed me. And with the added allure of working with torches, GaleForce Design Jewelry was born—an endeavor I wholeheartedly embraced.” – Gale Schadewald
