From a very young age, Dan Palmer displayed an interest in metalwork, melting down lead fishing weights to repurpose. At 13, he made his first ring, which featured two garnets against a backdrop of triangle of quartz, the bold design only hinting at what Palmer would later create. After graduating high school, he moved from Wyoming to Portland, to became a jeweler’s apprentice. With 25 years in the business under his belt, he struck out on his own, starting Ravens’ Refuge, specializing in custom-made, one-of-a-kind, his-and-hers wedding bands. Skilled craftsmanship, high quality, and customer service (provided by wife, Laura who handles the business-end) have made Ravens’ Refuge a hit with Etsy shoppers, with over 850 sales on the books.

Phil and Gabi - AucklandBeautiful bands, and outstanding customer service. We're from New Zealand. We made a silly mistake and ordered a wrong size for one of our wedding bands, and had to return it and get it made smaller (all over a week while we were already traveling in the US to our marriage destination in New York). What easily could have been a nightmare, turned into a positive human experience. Laura was just on to it and helpful and caring until everyone was totally happy. Simply stellar customer service.10/10
