The Far Fetched Story
For over 20 years, Far Fetched has been known for designing fun,
creative, and heartfelt jewelry. Far Fetched is a lifestyle company,
we like to think of it as more than just a workplace. We focus on the
positive and enjoyable aspects of life and offer an environment
where our vision, creativity and passion can express itself.
While in college in the early 80’s, a series of serendipitous events led Richard Wolf to the artisans in Taxco, Mexico. He brought their jewelry back to California, and before long
was taking orders and making regular trips back to Taxco. In 1985 he founded Far Fetched in his dad’s basement in Laguna Beach. In 1993, he moved back to Sonoma County with his wife and newborn daughter and brought Far Fetched to the tiny town of Graton. We recently outgrew that location, and now the Far Fetched team works from our new offices in nearby Sebastopol.
Our designs start with an emotion, a silly joke, an experience; each piece has its own story. We daydream and doodle new ideas, utilizing a variety of materials and techniques. The designs are then sent to Cuervo Metal, our sister company, and are given to a skilled prototype maker. Once we see the
prototypes, we make any changes that are needed, and the finalized designs are given to the artisans to produce in their own workshops. They use a combination of traditional silversmithing techniques and new, innovative processes that we have introduced. The end result is our unique, handmade jewelry.
