Double Cross Jewelry by Travis Walker - A Celebration of Artistic Talent

What is biker jewelry (also frequently) referred to gothic silver jewelry and Rock and Roll jewelry)? While we do innately know what it is, many objects of wonder such as these some things can hardly be described adequately through words. It can be said that gothic silver jewelry takes the form of heavy, bulky jewelry handcrafted from 925 sterling silver. It employs bold, unconventional, edgy and often anarchic, defiant themes. The perception it commonly inspires is that of a rugged, handsome, masculine and individualistic man riding a powerful Harley through endless country roads into the sunset with an adventure-filled agenda. Or that of a hugely successful metal star performing live on stage, inspiring the adoration of millions of heavy metal followers in the mosh pit. It is a look which tickles the imagination and commands awe, admiration and wonder. Today, this look is hugely popular, due mainly to active promotion by musicians, bikers, biker fans, rock n roll fans and other cultural adherents eager to pioneer neo age fashion through the snazzy, head-turning outfits and accessories they wear.

Travis Walker was born and raised in Malibu, California, like so many other pioneers of biker jewelry design.. Till this day, the humble jeweler continues to reside in sunny California with his wife, Brittany. He started his foray into the world of design by designing customized motorcycle seats for some of the top bike building industrial giants, including Harley Davidson. Although he continues to create custom pieces for special clients and celebrities, he does so only on a private basis for close friends and treasured clients. Discovering a ready market for fashionable biking clothing, Travis Walker entered the realm of sterling silver gothic jewelry, which he pioneered under the tutelage of the late design guru Gabor Nagy.

As one of Gabor Nagy's top students, Walker quickly became to the position of the vice President of Gaboratory.
