About Us

Hello! We’re the founders of Riveting Experience Jewelry, Nicole and Harry Hansen.

As metalsmiths who have a long personal & family history in jewelry-making, we love to share our expertise to help customers make jewelry which is personal to them. We’ve been part of the Salida community for the past 27 years and enjoy contributing to the growth and vitality of our valley.

At our home studio, we help clients custom-make wedding rings with our sister business, Sterling & Steel. We had such a good reaction to that that we thought, “How else can we replicate this experience to make it accessible for people interested in shorter, less complicated projects?” Now, after years in the making, we offer you a “Riveting Experience”!
