About us

Ted Fees and Julian Esquivel

Julian Esquivel and Ted Fees have been creating quality jewelry designs for over 28 years. For the first 13 years, we ran a successful women's accessory company and then decided to change the focus of our work to animal and unusual theme jewelry designs for men and women.

All of the original designs on our web site are hand carved from wax. Our work is known for being substantial in weight, it's detail and dimensionality, capturing the essence and personality of each piece.

Each order is hand cast using the lost wax casting process. After assembling your order, each piece is hand finished and hand buffed to a perfect surface finish. When you order from us you are ordering quality hand made jewelry. Our jewelry is not mass produced and because of this we ask that you allow us a little extra time to produce your special order. If you need your order by a certain date, please let us know and we will do our best to have it delivered when you need it.

We are proud to have designed exclusive lines of jewelry which are currently at the Texas State Capitol Gift Shops in Austin, The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin, The Ladybird Wildflower Center in Austin, The Utah State Capitol Gift Shops in Salt Lake City and Howard Payne University.

Throughout our web site you will find unique and unusual items which we have personally designs and created. Our work is inspired by the things we love most and that have meaning in our lives. Because of this, our creations have lasting value and are sure to become some of your most treasured possessions in the years to come.

All of our work is unconditionally guaranteed and it is our hope that you will enjoy our jewelry designs as much as we have enjoyed creating them for you.

I decided to get the longhorn earrings for college football season and the longhorn earrings are fabulous as well.

I have also inquired about items, and they personally responded. The products I have purchased are pendants of our Dogs after they have passed. I will tell you I do not trust just anyone to make them. I keep coming back when I need a pendant to properly immortalize my fur babies. I highly recommend!!
