Custom firearms manufacturers are nothing new, but Firegild starts at a level above where other companies stop. Firegild starts with guns from many of the most popular manufacturers such as Beretta, Colt and Ruger. Then they design a unique, personalized handgun that uses gems such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds. Fine leathers and exotic hides can also be used.

“At Firegild we understand that there is more to a firearm than just its utilitarian look and application,” said company owner Polly Davis Ditch. “A firearm can make a statement, a bold statement, that announces to the world that its owner isn’t just another among the crowd, but instead an individual who stands apart with a unique style and sensibility.”

Although the company is working with only handguns right now, they do have plans to include shotguns and rifles at a later date.
