About Us

Hey, I'm Gabe Burke and welcome to Wooly West Originals. I'm proud to be able to offer you these one of a kind pieces. One of my favorite gemstones has always been turquoise. A few years back (over 10 years now!) I made a few turquoise necklaces and bracelets for myself. My family and friends encouraged me to start my own business, so here we are. 

One of the reasons I like turquoise so much is that there are no two pieces exactly the same. I believe your jewelry should reflect that. All of my pieces are unique, one of a kind, works of art, created by me. Along with the pieces of jewelry I make, I have collected a few wonderful vintage pieces that I have decided to share.

My husband, daughter, and I ranch in NW South Dakota. When we got married, I wanted a decorated longhorn hanging at the reception. I couldn't find anything that I loved, so I created one myself and the evolution of skull art pieces came to life! I use longhorns, buffalo, yak and ram skulls as my canvas to create beautiful pieces of art. I love to create and offer these unique, custom designed skulls to display in your home, office, or business for years to come. Take a look around and please reach out to me with any questions, custom orders are OPEN. gburke@sdplains.com
