Gold Jewelers

Even in small towns, gold jewelers are a dime a dozen. But the best stand out for stunning, durable, heirloom quality jewelry creations. Guy Beard's jewelry stands above the rest with multiple lines of beautiful, nautical-inspired jewelry made with patented processes that have revolutionized gold jewelry making.

Beard began working with precious metals as a goldsmith in a dental office during the 1970s. A longtime avid blue water sailor, diver and angler, he knew that mariners' jewelry took quite a beating from day-to-day activities on the boat, and from the salty sea water and air. So, he set out to use his expertise as a goldsmith to develop something better than what other gold jewelers of the day could offer.

Among his numerous achievements is a patented process and machinery for tempering gold and other malleable metals, making them better able to hold their jeweler-designed shapes. Made with Beard's revolutionary process, silver and gold jewelry pieces are better able to withstand the knocks and scratches that come with any active lifestyle. This and other jewelry making developments makes Beard one of the today's most innovative gold jewelers, combining old-school and latest-technology approaches to jewelry making.

Having built and sold several profitable jewelry businesses, Beard today spends much of his time in his design studio in Jacksonville, FL's historic San Marco neighborhood. He still creates custom handmade jewelry, in addition to drawing up new designs for mass production. Inspired by his love for the ocean, he is considered tops among gold jewelers specializing in nautical jewelry.
