Our Values

What we stand for as a brand

Gilded Workbench jewelry isn't just about material adornment. It is about connection-to art, to nature, to self. We are anchored by timeless designs, sculptural forms, slow craftsmanship, and the belief that jewelry should feel personal, not performative. As intimate wearable art, they are keepsakes worth preserving for the ones finding beauty in their becoming.

Why what we do matters

The artistry of Gilded Workbench is embedded in slow craft. Each piece of jewelry begins as a hand sculpted model that is cast in small batches to maintain quality that cannot be rushed or mass produced. We use materials sourced locally and each step of the process is proudly done using hands and hand operated tools here in the United States. Our production runs are intentionally small because we value attention to detail and longevity over volume. We cast our jewelry using brass and silver. We use solid brass for its strength and warmth, hand finish it and then plate it with a thick layer of 24K gold to give it our signature lasting glow for a substantial look. Our base materials are free of nickel. We stand behind the quality of our handcrafted jewelry. Imperfections in design are deliberate and we can only hope that your Gilded Workbench jewelry exudes the kind of joy that was integral throughout the process of conceptualizing and handcrafting it exclusively for you.
