In the latest Mardon blog, we discuss the California Gold Rush of 1849 and the jewelry it gave rise to. Forty-Niner goldsmiths and jewelers settled in San Francisco and created the classic gold in quartz styles. The best examples of vintage gold in quartz jewelry were made beginning 1850 and ending 1906, when the great earthquake put the hammer to the local jewelry making industry.

Current production of gold in quartz is focused in the Grass Valley area of California, with modest contributions from Australia and Alaska.
