Upcycled 14k gold chain and vintage agate bracelet by Glitter and Gold Studio
About the Item
As a single piece, the style of this three-part upcycled bracelet mirrors the delicate, simple elegance of a fine lady’s wristwatch, but each of its elements carry their own secret layer of history and purpose.
A 14k gold vintage watch chain and clasp, which once might have trailed from a gentleman’s waistcoat pocket, give the bracelet its distinctive drape on the wrist. Watch fob chains are a particular interest of Mary Elizabeth's since many of the manufacturing processes of these unique chains are no longer used by modern jewelers. By refurbishing and upcycling these rare chains she gives these old styles a new life.
The cream colored “watch face” is an uncarved agate seal from the late 1800s that might one day have carried the crest of a respectable family, but now sits suspended in a deconstructed vintage brooch as the center piece of this truly unique bracelet. The agate has a rounded and a flat side, so either way it flips it has a lovely interest.

Glitter and Gold Studio
Glitter & Gold may be new (I opened my doors December 2021), but I’m not new to the art of creating custom jewelry. In 1994, starting out as an apprentice for my uncle at Foxfire Jewelers, I swept floors and washed the walls, working my way up to jewelry repair and then custom creation. I began building my craft as a custom jewelry designer, spending tens of thousands of hours “on the bench,” learning to fix, design, ethically source materials and gems, and ultimately create high-quality jewelry that stands the test of time. I’ve been lucky to have spent my entire career as a goldsmith working exclusively with and for small custom design studios, including Blue Heron Jewelry, Goldmine Design, MJB Jewelers, Scholdt, and more. It was a combined catalyst of the pandemic and my 50th birthday that fueled the spark to finally pursue my dream of opening my own studio — one where I could invite clients in to experience the art of creating unique and meaningful jewelry. Using 100% recycled precious metals, ethically sourced gemstones and diamonds, and focusing on small businesses as my vendors I’m able to make custom jewelry that supports our heart and home. Outside of creating unique hand crafted jewelry, I enjoy roller skating, gardening, face time “dates” with my daughter away at college, and spending time with my family. I live on beautiful Bainbridge Island, and love my ferryboat commute to work every day! I also run a delightful little Hobbit House Airbnb in our backyard!
