Pat Flynn's interest in jewelry started in high school art class. With his interest piqued, he saved up to buy jewelry making tools and taught himself the beginnings of silver and goldsmithing. He went on to earn his undergraduate degree in the metals department and further cultivated his jewelry making skills by working in a variety of jewelry and repair studios in New York.

Pat found his own design direction while restoring an old home. There, he came across vintage hand forged nails and... the rest was history. Years later, now, the forged nails are the backbone of his collection hand forges each piece of his unique iron jewelry designs using a combination of blacksmithing and goldsmithing techniques. Iron is his signature metal with additions of high karat gold and diamonds accented the matte black metal.
