Rooted in San Francisco: Why We Craft Our Solid Gold Jewelry in Small, Meaningful Batches

San Francisco is more than just our home—it’s our inspiration, our heartbeat, and the backdrop for every piece we create at Goldstories. From the fog-kissed hills to the vibrant intersections of art, design, and culture, this city informs our values and our process. At the core of our brand is a belief in doing things differently. That means no mass production, no shortcuts—just intentional, handcrafted jewelry made to last.

Why We Make Everything in Small Batches

In a world of fast fashion and fleeting trends, we choose the slow and thoughtful path. Every Goldstories piece begins with a clear intention: to create something timeless, personal, and enduring. We design and craft our jewelry in small batches to ensure that each piece receives the care and attention it deserves.

This small-scale production isn’t just about quality control—it’s a statement. It allows us to focus on sustainability, minimize waste, and avoid overproduction. It also gives our collectors something truly special: jewelry that feels exclusive, not because it’s expensive, but because it was made just for them, in limited quantities.

The Beauty of Limited Editions

We view jewelry as a form of storytelling—each piece representing a chapter in someone’s life. That’s why many of our designs are released as limited editions. By keeping editions small, we preserve a sense of rarity and uniqueness. It’s our way of honoring the significance of jewelry in our customers’ lives—whether it's marking a milestone, a memory, or a quiet personal moment.

When you wear a limited-edition Goldstories piece, you’re wearing something few others ever will. It's an heirloom in the making, destined to be passed down.

Crafted by Hand, Cast in Solid Gold

We don’t believe in cutting corners—especially when it comes to materials or craftsmanship. All of our jewelry is crafted by hand using solid 14k gold, never plated or filled. Why solid gold? Because it lasts. It doesn’t tarnish or fade, and it’s made to be worn every day for a lifetime—and then some.

Our pieces are hand carved, cast, and polished by skilled artisans in our San Francisco studio. This human touch makes every piece subtly unique, with its own character and soul. It’s a celebration of imperfection, a return to the art of making things that matter.

Designed to Tell a Story

At Goldstories, we believe your jewelry should reflect your journey—where you’ve been and where you’re going. That’s why every design begins with a story. Our hope is that when you wear a Goldstories piece, it becomes a part of your own narrative.

Whether it’s the first ring you bought for yourself, a gift to mark a new chapter, or a pendant passed down through generations, we want our jewelry to be more than beautiful—we want it to be meaningful.

From San Francisco, With Love

Everything we do is grounded in the spirit of San Francisco—artful, independent, and always a little unexpected. The creative scene here isn’t about trends or perfection. It’s about authenticity. It’s about telling stories through art, through materials, and through form. That spirit resonates deeply with how we approach our work. It reminds us to be bold, to create with purpose, and to celebrate beauty in the everyday.

Thank you for being part of our story.
