Announcement    I specialize in rich 24k gold and natural gold nugget jewelry.

Pure 24k gold is unlike any other metal on Earth. The brilliance of pure 24k is unmatched. The rich buttery-yellow gold of 24k (100% gold-content) stands out from the lower purities like 18k (75%), 14k (58.5%), and 10k (41.7%) that are commonly used in the jewelry industry.

Gold nuggets, which come from the ground and are unrefined, have natural variability in their purity that general ranges from 19k to 23k.

Every gold nugget used in my shop was found by small-scale gold miners. They will often have small traces of quartz or other minerals attached to them. Only basic hand tools like gold pans, sluice boxes, and handheld metal detectors are used to find these nuggets, causing no environmental harm to our Earth.

I use only the best quality nuggets for my jewelry. Most of the gold that is mined nowadays comes from huge open-pit mining operations. The gold is tiny. Natural raw nuggets like these are very rare, and the true "jewelry grade" pieces like the ones I use are even rarer.

Need a custom piece made? Perhaps a birthstone set in a natural gold nugget, or a design idea using pure 24k gold? Feel free to send us a message and we'll see what we can do!
