About Todd Bracken
Impeccable craftsmanship, deep industry knowledge, and unparalleled ability to transform ideas into one-of-a-kind works of art is only some of what Todd Bracken of Bracken Jewelers is known for by his clients of 40 years and industry colleagues. As a GIA Graduate Gemologist and an artisanal gold miner, he works directly with raw elements—shaping gold pulled from California’s earth and setting rare gemstones into heirlooms that carry both history and personal significance.
Goldsmith, artist, historian and proprietor— preserver of California legacy, craftsmanship & treasures.
His work has been worn by icons and commissioned by renowned jewelry houses, yet it remains, above all, a craft of connection—between past and present, metal and maker, jewelry and the lives it becomes a part of.
