Tempe-based jeweler extraordinaire NightRider Jewelry will celebrate the opening of a new store from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. February 8 at Scottsdale Fashion Square. With prices ranging from $300 to $3,000, NightRider jewelry is the brainchild of high-end jewelry expert and artisan George Ganem and Nick and Thad Ballantyne, who put an emphasis on crosses, skulls and other silver handcrafted pieces in their designs. The jewelry, which is 100% American-made, has long been a favorite of the motorcycle crowd but has recently been adopted by Hollywood powerhouses like Alice Cooper, Kenny Chesney and –our personal favorite – Johnny Depp, who wore a NightRider design on the November 2011 cover of Vanity Fair.

“Our customers appreciate the fact that we make all of our products ourselves right here in the Valley, with no outsourcing whatsoever,” said Nick Ballantyne, of NightRider’s exponential growth at a time when so many are being forced to cut back on nonessentials. “Our careful craftsmanship ensures that our pieces hold their value, and that’s a major part of why so many of our customers have come back in time and time again.”

If we can’t order Johnny Depp for Valentine’s Day, we guess we’ll take a piece of his jewelry. Ok…not his actual jewelry. All right…fine. A similar piece will do.
