Handcrafted Jewelry

When you’re looking for a great gift for someone you love or for yourself, there’s nothing better than handcrafted jewelry. For more than 30 years, Guy Beard’s name has been synonymous with high-quality, beautiful and durable handcrafted jewelry, particularly for the outdoors set.

An avid blue water sailor, diver and fisherman, Beard knows that an active lifestyle can wreak havoc on delicate, handcrafted jewelry, especially if your days are spent in the salty-air beach environment. So years ago, he set out to develop an innovative tempering technique that causes gold and other flexible metals to better hold their shape, even through the most rigorous of activities. The result was a revolution in the jewelry making industry.

Today, Beard continues to design and manufacture both handcrafted jewelry and machine-produced jewelry from his private studio in Jacksonville, Florida’s historic San Marco neighborhood. In part because of its exceptional durability, Beard’s handcrafted jewelry products are favored by mariners, athletes and other active, outdoors-loving individuals. Favorites include designs inspired by the mariner’s life such as 14K solid gold necklaces and bracelets from his Swivel Collection. These handcrafted jewelry pieces are made with replicas of nautical swivels commonly used to make fishing lures. They look great with casual wear, but also lend a unique, classy touch to evening apparel.

Beard’s leather bracelets and necklaces are another favorite among his handcrafted jewelry selections. High-quality leather bolo cords are intricately braided and feature up to four colors. Custom colors can be mixed and matched to reflect your personal style. Beard’s Team Colors collection features these handcrafted necklaces and bracelets in college and professional sports team colors. Many feature Beards’ exclusive mariner’s clasp, a heavy-duty jewelry clasp that is not only functional, but an attractive piece of art in itself. For the biker or cyclist in your life, opt for Beard’s handcrafted bracelets made from bike chains with black or yellow inserts – a stylishly unexpected look.
