What is biker jewelry (also commonly) referred to sterling silver gothic jewelry and rock n roll jewelry)? Although we do know what it is, some things can hardly fall to be described adequately through words. It can be said that biker jewelry comes as thick, chunky jewelry moulded using 925 sterling silver. It employs unconventional, bold, often edgy and often anarchic, defiant designs. The concept it inspires is that of a rugged, handsome, individualistic and masculine man riding a powerful Harley through endless and lonely rural 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 punk fans in the mosh pit. It is a look which sparks one's active imagination and commands wonder and awe. Today, the biker look has become immensely popular, due primarily to active adoption by bikers, musicians, biker enthusiasts, rock n roll enthusiasts and other cultural pioneers who seek to showcase and promote individualism through the snazzy, head-turning outfits and accessories they wear. In this write-up, we introduce Travis Walker: a student of the legendary Gabor nagy, and one of the most inspired gothic silver jewelry designers the world has seen since Gaboratory revolutionized the gothic & biker images through gothic silver jewelry.

Who is Travis Walker

Travis Walker, a first-generation gothic silver design wizard, has been forging beautiful gothic silver jewelry and biker leather designs for two decades. Like many other first generation-ers of sterling silver biker jewelry such as Bill Wall and Gabor Nagy, Travis Walker was born and raised in Malibu, California. Today, he, he still resides in sunny California with Brittany, his wife. Walker started his foray into the world of design by designing customized chopper seats for some of the top bike builders, including Harley Davidson. Although he still creates custom pieces for special clients and celebrities, he does so only on a private scale for close friends and treasured clients. Discovering a ready market for fashionable biking apparel, Travis Walker ventured into the realm of sterling silver gothic jewelry, which he pursued under the pupillage of the late design guru Gabor Nagy.

Being one of Gabor Nagy's top students, Walker promptly rose to the position of the vice President of Gaboratory. However, the desire to make something for himself eventually inspired him to leave the honoured halls of Gaboratory and begin walking an arduous journey towards forging something of his own, by himself.

The Birth of Double Cross Jewelry

The beginnings of success were seen in 1996, when Walker presented before the world his first line of biker jewelry, marking the beginning of Double Cross Jewelry. Since then, Walker's popularity has grown exponentially both locally and overseas, and Walker has maintained an underground and exclusive clientele. Double Cross has made designed one-of-a-kind custom jewelry for rock stars, A-list actors, special clients and top bike builders.Travis' original designs are varied in theme, ranging between edgy and gothic to high-end and classical. Putting on Double Cross designs not only enhances your external image; it also tells of a philosophy defined by surf, motorcycles, social status and rock n roll. Till today, Today, Double Cross remains very exclusive, and sells itself admirably as a premium brand. Its beautiful gothic jewelry pieces, unfortunately, are priced at levels higher than what average wage-earning fans can reasonably afford to pay.

Double Cross fakes & Double Cross inspired alternatives: Why they are rising in popularity

In recent times, Double Cross jewelry has faced adversity in the form of several offshore competitors of equal capacity and talent, resources and ability to deliver equally detailed, beautiful & expertly crafted luxury gothic styled silver jewelry to bikers and other fans at a small fraction of Double Cross jewelry prices. Today, fans of gothic sterling silver jewelry have an extensive range of alternatives to original Double Cross jewelry. Gothic sterling silver jewelry fans are waking up to the ugly truth behind branding, which is actually no other than an imaginary concept. In every single luxury label from Chrome Hearts jewelry, Bill Wall Leather jewelry, Gaboratory jewelry, Room 101 jewelry, Nagual jewelry, SoulFetish jewelry, Crazy Pig jewelry, Tony Creed jewelry, Double Cross jewelry, Heavy Magic jewelry, One Too Many jewelry, Stanley Guess jewelry, Til Death .925 jewelry, King Baby Jewelry, Little King NY Jewelry, Royal Order Jewelry, to Imperial Rose Collections jewelry, gothic sterling silver prices are escalating so rapidly that the majority of gothic silver jewelry fans have been priced out of the the gothic sterling silver jewelry premium brand market. Brand is not something that customers will always be willing to bear the cost for. Given the easy availability of cheaper and equally attractive offerings, it is little wonder that designer label jewelry isn't an uncommon sight on the streets notwithstanding the premium brand prices of the original. The new wisdom is: why bust the bank on designer label jewelry when you can get a near identical piece forged from the same Best quality 925 sterling silver at a tiny fraction of the cost?

However, in choosing alternatives in the form of fakes or similarly styled inspired designs, it is critical to first know the grade of jewelry you are paying for. Double Cross Jewelry competitors range from Best quality alternatives and close replicas by freelance expert jewelers to mass-producing bootleggers churning out poorly made bootlegs made from base metals such as aluminium and copper.
