On any given day, local gold miners will come into our shop throughout the year with the gold nuggets they mined that season. We look through their stash and choose the very best nuggets to make into jewelry. These are natural pieces of “placer gold” which means they are mined by sifting through the sand and gravel of ancient rivers and streams around Alaska and the Klondike. Finding gold nuggets in their natural state is very rare. In fact, gold nuggets make up only 2% of all gold that is found. These nuggets themselves will vary in purity from about 75% to 95% pure gold, or 18k to 22k. Due to the fact that these pieces are completely natural, other minerals can sometimes be mixed in such as silver and platinum.
