You're welcome to take a peek at https://www.facebook.com/873965729321958 Arctic Flair Photography here on FB - all of the photos are available on vibrantly printed aluminum, in a variety of sizes from 4x4 to 24x36, and shipping larger sizes is absolutely workable! I'm sure you've received far more responses than you anticipated, and that's due in large part to the fact that Fairbanks & our surrounding towns have a tremendous variety of fabulous artists of all types. It's certainly easy to find local talent here!! Knowing you're coming in June, I hope you're here for 6/21 (solstice), where there's a fun bash downtown, but even if you're not, I'd still recommend a decent pair of hiking shoes so you're not afraid to get out & about & have a little adventure. It's a good idea to plan for warm days (it can be in the 80's or even warmer in June) but bring layers, or plan https://www.facebook.com/167463019963577 to bring a sweatshirt (or buy one from Brianna Reagan Art!) or a lightweight jacket. I hope your trip is absolutely amazing!!

I got my wife's engagement ring and both of our wedding rings from Jim at Alaska Gold and Gem downtown - he's really nice. Not sure if he does/pricing about custom jewelery though.

Sixthtry replied:
I am friends with the owners of bishops jewelry. They do custom jewelry anything you can think up they can make. I am not sure how much they charge for a custom ring, but they are worth looking into.
Akski replied:
I had a wedding set custom made at Larsen's over 10 years ago. It still works.
Gold Rush on 2 nd Avenue. I know the owners. Very honest people.
Laura F. replied:
I really want to agree, but I have not had the best experience with Gold Rush Jewelers, and they are highly recommended, and have a really good commercial on the radio. I prefer Taylor's.
Amy L. replied:
I like Taylor's because when the Eye Clinic of Fairbanks' glasses place would not honor the one year warranty on my frames because they had been discontinued, Taylor's repaired them for $50. And worked on them three more times, without further cost, until the fix held.

The Fairbanks Arts Association has a gift shop in the Bear Gallery. I think you need to join and also volunteer in the gift shop to show your stuff. Not sure about that but I think that's how it works.

I'm looking for a really good jeweler. I need a prong fixed on my wedding ring. Thank you in advance.
Kim R. replied:
Gold Rush Jewelers are amazing.
Kari N. replied:
Gold Rush fixed my prong after I lost my diamond! Incredibly I had found the gem after extensive searching and after they fixed it, I have never had a problem. They changed the prong style and secured it indefinitely. I don't remember what it cost me but it was very affordable and worth every penny. I will recommend them anytime!

Ditto Taylor's

Gold Rush, located downtown near the old Co-op building. Have used them for twenty years plus and never been disappointed.
