For over 40 years, Bracken Jewelers has curated antique and vintage jewelry and watches in Los Angeles—from Art Deco engagement rings to Victorian lockets, vintage wedding rings and mid-century Rolex watches. Discover how our collection, and our handcrafted antique-inspired designs, blend history, craftsmanship, and timeless style.

Whether it starts with a memory from childhood, a riverside joke, or a late-night Google search, each story reflects something bigger: the desire for jewelry that’s meaningful and rooted in place; the draw of ethically sourced gold from a known, transparent source; the value of supporting a small, local, California business. Our California Gold wedding bands are markers of identity, history, and home.
