Ancient Gold

I have always had a fascination for gold. I remember when I was a young boy whatever game kids were playing there had to be a gold treasure. In 1980 on the North Fork of the Yuba River , mining partner, Sid Walker, and I hit a small Mother Lode with a Keene gold dredge. With the gold we got that summer, I learned how to make jewelry and went to Gem School. In 1981 I sold a lucrative high pressure dissatisfying business in Santa Barbra, Ca. and moved to Placerville, Ca. where my wife and I opened a hole in the wall Jewelry Store at Midtown Mall. It took five years and all of the money we had to finally have a successful business. In the year 2000 we opened this larger location on Ma. Street, downtown Historic Placerville Ca. Gold mining and the jewelry business, has been a perfect combination and I am equally passionate about both. Ancient Gold Jewelers is a family business and we are proud to serve the local customers in Placerville. We also enjoy doing business with new people who come here to visit our historic town.
