Collection IIICalifornia Gold
For decades we have been mining our own gold in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California and crafting that gold into fine jewelry – from wedding bands to pendants, and everything in between.
We have both a fully-permitted placer gold mining operation as well as a claim on the Yuba River. Learn about California Gold here.
The pieces in our signature collection are a 20 karat alloy – characteristic of raw California river gold – and marked with a grizzly bear hallmark, authenticating their genuine California Gold composition. They are a testament to true craftsmanship from mining to making, and a tangible connection to the Golden State which we call home.
