We are super excited to have T. Anthony Jewelers as one of our event sponsors for the third year in a row! They will be donating a gorgeous one-of-a-kind piece to the live auction at Get Hitched Give Hope plus they might have some bling for you to try on if you stop by their bistro table! Tyler Sholdt from T. Anthony Jewelers shared with me a little about his business and their stunning auction item for this year…
Tyler, tell me a little about your job and how you got started in jewelry design…
I design and create gorgeous jewelry! I would consider myself a jewelry designer, diamond broker and depending on the client… a therapist. Though I don’t have a degree in therapy or counseling, I do have the privilege of being one of the first people in the wedding industry that a couple visits before all of the fun starts. I value people and I value marriage and I think that comes out in the way I work with my clients.
I’ve been involved in the jewelry industry for over 12 years and have been the owner of T. Anthony Jewelers for the past four years.
I absolutely love this industry and being able to use the talents I’ve been blessed with is truly an amazing opportunity. Not only that but jewelry runs deep in my family’s blood. My great-grandfather purchased a failing jewelry repair business in 1935 and turned it around to be one of the most prestigious jewelry repair shops in Washington. The history of jewelry has been past down through generations and the passion still runs deep.
It sounds like you are really passionate about your work! What do you love most about it?
I love meeting new people, creating relationships and designing them beautiful, one-of-a-kind jewelry that they will wear for a lifetime.
What drew you to Get Hitched Give Hope?
Right off the bat the GHGH team was sincere, warm, fun and good hearted. Then I learned more about the event and what the money was going towards. From there it was a no brainer and we’ve had a great relationship ever since.
What will you be donating to the Get Hitched Give Hope auction?
This year like the past two years, T. Anthony Jewelers will be donating to the live auction. I will also have a fun selection of other jewels at my bistro table for people to try on. The item up for auction this year will be a gorgeous pair of white pave diamond earrings with black diamond briolettes. These earrings are absolutely stunning! The best part is that you can dress them up or wear them with a pair of jeans.
What inspires you?
Oh man! I’m inspired by a lot of different things. My amazing and talented wife, family, my ever-changing 10 month old son, the commitment of marriage, any type of art… you name it, modern architecture with clean lines and unique design, natural landscapes. The list goes on.
What makes your business stand out?
I’m able to offer a ton of flexibility for clients who want to design a custom piece of jewelry. Since I’m a one-man show, I’m the only one calling the shots. You’re only ever dealing with me and you’ll never be passed along to another salesperson. Even better than that, the final product and the cost of the final product will speak for itself!
If you could pass on your advice to an engaged couple, what three tips would you give?
1. Enjoy the time you’re engaged! Yes, it can be stressful at times but it can also be very bonding. Make the best out of that rare time you have together.
2. Get away. Travel. Explore the world.
3. Kiss! Be affectionate. Especially in front of your kids (when the time comes).
4. Bonus advice: Learn your spouses love language. Whether it’s buying them gifts, cleaning the house, positive and affirming words or just spending time with them. Make the extra effort to continuously learn more about your spouse.
Thanks Tyler! How can we keep in touch?
