We recently connected with Gabe Saldivar and have shared our conversation below.

Gabe , appreciate you joining us today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?

I started my career as welder growing up in weld shop working with my dad. As I got older my creative side started to really started to come to light in my metal work. I always wanted to make custom rings but didn’t want to be that cookie cutter guy who made rings that you see everyday. I was a big fan of skull rings and knew I wanted to get in that field. I took a few classes to learn the basics and that is where it all began. My jewelry isn’t like any other pieces you will find. As for the car customization I have always been into cars from an early age. We stepped up our game by spending some time getting certified by some of the top companies in the US doing color change wrap, high end detailing and high end ceramic coatings. We started doing hand engraving in January 2024 to expand our offerings which has turned out to me a great adventure.

Gabe , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Let’s move on to buying businesses – can you talk to us about your experience with business acquisitions?

I purchased BAR (Bad Ass Ring Co.) in Las Vegas after Wes Anderson passed away back in 2017 to help expand my brand. After using the name for about a year I decided that it was time to make it bigger than ever.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

My business really expanded once I started to get artist into my jewelry such as Billy Gibbons of ZZ TOP, Laz Pina of iLL Nino, Moonshine Bandits, Yelawolf, Big Smo, Jorge Rosado of Merauder and about 20 more artist that are on the roster.
