About Master Goldsmith, Frank McCubbins
Master goldsmith Frank McCubbins began his career as a goldsmith in 1974 working as a wax carver and mold maker for a large jewelry manufacturer in Southern California. He then moved to Oregon and worked with several different designer goldsmiths. The poor anatomy he saw in wildlife jewelry prompted him to produce a collection of rings and pendants featuring more authentic sculpted animals. After 46 years, he continues to develop and improve his intricately detailed collection of wildlife sculptures in gold.
Since Frank does not wholesale his designs, you can contact his wife Angie to place your order, or you can come see them at the two Sportsmen’s Shows they attend each year. All of the details about these shows can be found below at the bottom of this page. Today, working from his home studio in Washington state, Frank still hand carves every piece himself, making each sculpture unique.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Powder Coating
Powder coatings are based on polymer resin systems, combined with curatives, pigments, leveling agents, flow modifiers, and other additives. These ingredients are melt mixed, cooled, and ground into a uniform powder similar to baking flour. After application of the powder coating, the parts enter a curing oven where, with the addition of heat, the coating chemically reacts to produce long molecular chains, resulting in high cross-link density. These molecular chains are very resistant to breakdown. Powder coating protects the roughest, toughest machinery as well as the household items you depend on daily. It provides a more durable finish than liquid paints can offer, while still providing an attractive finish. Powder coated products are more resistant to extreme weather conditions. It’s tough. It looks great. And it lasts a long, long time.
