GLDN is a collection of slowly crafted jewelry — beautifully simple for everyday wear.
Based out of the US in Washington state, GLDN began like many handcrafted labels – in the home of the brand’s founder, Chrissy Lavdovsky. What originally started as a small Etsy shop (formally known as Layered + Long), GLDN quickly became a successful and wonderfully diverse jewelry brand. Despite this international growth and increase in demand, GLDN hasn’t veered away from the values and practices that made their items personal and unique since the very beginning. Every item is handmade to order at GLDN’s studio by one of the team’s talented metal crafters.
GLDN works with the understanding that good things take time, allowing each piece to be delicately made and personalized. Thoughtful details and quality materials are celebrated throughout the entire GLDN collection. Almost every item can be customized down to the very metal used — with selections ranging from solid gold (featured here) and silver, to gold and rose gold fill. This depth in material variety allows GLDN to offer their pieces at a range of price points, making the brand more accessible and transparent — some of the core values they strive for. GLDN is a brand that’s also committed to changing the world for the better. Each year, they donate 10% of their profits to nonprofit organizations that are creating positive change. You can read more about the organizations GLDN has supported and their special philanthropic collections here.
Recently, a few GLDN pieces moved into my jewelry box. But truth be told, they haven’t spent much time there because I’ve been wearing each one so often. The small cuff hoops featured in this article have quickly become my favorite earrings for everyday wear, and the delicate gold necklace with custom-stamped charms to match mine and Sven’s initials is also always around my neck. On their website, you can explore GLDN’s beautiful range of designs and typefaces to create a personalized item for yourself or as a special gift for someone near to your heart.
