About

Located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Mother of Gold has made its home in the historic gold country of Northern California.  

Cicada, the creative mind and hands of Mother of Gold, has been refining the art of fine jewelry since 1998.   A seven year apprenticeship, multiple goldsmithing positions, and a BFA in jewelry and metals have built the foundation for this new expression of alchemy and beauty.  

We specialize in quality body jewelry, high karat gold, custom wedding and engagement rings, and custom jewelry design. 

Whenever possible, local and ethically sourced materials are used.  

For local clients, jewelry repair and upcycling is available by appointment.
