Ryk Maverick is the founder and creative force behind Starlingear. A former member of the military, Ryk brings a deep understanding of the importance of durability and reliability to his work. He founded Starlingear with the goal of creating jewelry that was both functional and stylish, using high-quality materials and impeccable craftsmanship to create pieces that would stand the test of time.




One of the key inspirations behind the Starlingear brand is the world of motorcycles and biker culture. Many of the brand's designs are inspired by classic motorcycle motifs, such as skulls, eagles, and flames. However, Ryk has also drawn inspiration from a wide range of other sources, including nature, mythology, and even science fiction. The design philosophy of Starlingear is focused on creating jewelry that is both functional and visually striking. Each piece is designed to be worn and used, rather than simply being a decorative item. This means that the brand's designs often include practical features such as bottle openers, keychains, and even tools.

The brand's designs are highly detailed and intricate, with a level of craftsmanship that is unmatched in the world of jewelry. Each piece is carefully crafted by hand, with a level of attention to detail that is truly remarkable. One of the hallmarks of Starlingear's jewelry is the high-quality materials that are used in its construction. The brand works exclusively with materials such as sterling silver, bronze, and copper, with each piece being cast by hand and finished to the highest standards of quality.

The Starlingear brand is a testament to the power of creativity and dedication. Ryk Maverick's vision for high-quality, functional jewelry has been brought to life through the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and design. With each new piece, Starlingear continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of jewelry, creating pieces that are both beautiful and practical.

Leathers and Treasures - Dennis Pollicino



Leathers and Treasures is a luxury jewelry brand founded by Dennis Pollicino in 1980, Los Angeles. The brand specializes in creating one-of-a-kind pieces that merge leather and precious metals to create unique and intricate designs. Dennis Pollicino, the creative force behind Leathers and Treasures, has always had a passion for art and design. As a child, he spent countless hours sketching and creating, often using found objects and materials to bring his ideas to life. He studied art and design in college, but it wasn't until he started working in the fashion industry that he discovered his love for jewelry.




The brand's first collection was a small line of leather cuffs adorned with silver and gold hardware. The pieces were an instant hit, and Leathers and Treasures quickly gained a reputation for creating high-quality, one-of-a-kind jewelry. Since then, the brand has expanded its offerings to include necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets. Pollicino's designs are inspired by his love of nature, architecture, and the art world, resulting in pieces that are both elegant and edgy.
