Hello friends of Harvest Gold Gallery! My name is Mona, and I am lucky to work at this lovely gallery. Recently, I spent some time polishing the jewelry, all handmade with love by Lynda and Bill. Every piece of jewelry is absolutely beautiful, so sometimes people have trouble choosing at item perfect for them! To offer some guidance, I picked out some of my favorites! Below are the pieces that I fell in love with while polishing... hopefully they can find an amazing home with some of our beloved customers:

Happy July to friends of Harvest Gold Gallery! We are happy to announce that our first Plein Air session was a great success! The weather was beautiful: warm and sunny with a refreshing cool breeze. The clear blue sky met the dark blue water of kezar lake, gently nestled between tall green trees. Our wonderful featured artist, Kristen Dill, painted a vase of vibrant flowers in front of the breathtaking view. Lots of wonderful people stopped by to watch, including Lynda and Bill's adorable granddaughters Solène and Fleury! 

Harvest Gold Gallery is overjoyed to host Hillary Dow, an accomplished mother, business woman, and artist, as our second Plein Air Artist of the summer! We encourage you to come to 1082 Main Street, Center Lovell, Maine, on Saturday, July 18, at 10 AM, to watch Hillary’s beautiful artwork take form in front of a wonderful view! It is completely free and all are welcome!

As one of the newest artists at Harvest Gold Gallery, Hillary Dow, is a one-of-a-kind addition to the local art scene. After receiving an advanced business degree, Hillary spent two decades successfully building an independent marketing consultancy. Nevertheless, her education experience isn’t limited to marketing; she is also a formally trained illustrator. Hillary began gravitating towards her love for fine arts as she mastered the technique of needle-felting. She managed to combine her profession with her passions by creating a family run publishing business called Binding Tales. Today, she has written, illustrated, and published four extraordinary children’s books. The love and time Hillary puts into her work gives every art piece a certain liveliness and beauty! The illustrations are all made by felting, a unique and tedious art method. Every image requires meticulous focus, and takes her fifteen to twenty-five hours to complete. Furthermore, most of her characters are inspired by her children and other family members. Her frequent visits to schools across Maine to teach children about writing, illustrating, and publishing exhibits her passion and devotion. 

This summer, everything is in bloom, so the gallery is absolutely bursting with color and life! Lynda and Bill's gardens are thriving, including many flower species. Artwork is often inspired from the beauty of nature, so naturally, the vibrant colors of the gardens are reflected in our jewelry!

These items are handmade with love by Lynda and Bill, featuring gemstones native to lovely Maine! Each piece of jewelry can be a momentum to remind you of summers in Maine or a gift for a loved one.

All jewelry can be resized upon request, contact us if interested! Here's some of our favorites:

Smell is the most powerful sense for triggering emotions and memories. Perry Home Naturals designed adorable pillows with patchwork of Maine animals: moose, bears, and loons. So much of Maine's beauty can be credited to it's diverse wildlife! One wonderful way to remember time spent in this beautiful state is through smell! These pillows are scented with Maine Balsam Fir and natural Essential Oil. With one sniff you will vividly remember walks in the blossoming forests, dips in the lake, and all the joyful time spent with loved ones in Maine.

This summer marks the 29th season of Harvest Gold Jewelry and Gallery, a beloved destination of fine art, handcrafted jewelry and exceptional craftsmanship in the heart of western Maine. 

Nearly three decades ago, Bill and Lynda Rudd, along with children Carley and Morgan, opened the doors to what would become recognized as “Best Gallery in New England” by Yankee Magazine. Drawn to the beauty of Kezar Lake and the White Mountains, they transformed the historic Severance Real Estate building into a welcoming space dedicated to art, creativity and community.

What began as a showcase for the Rudds’ award-winning jewelry, known for their Maine tourmaline pieces and handcrafted designs, quickly evolved into something much larger. By inviting talented artists and painters from New England and beyond to show their pieces at Harvest Gold Gallery, it showcases the works of over 200 artisans. As the gallery family has grown over the years, so has the Rudd family! Lynda and Bill are excited to welcome their 29th summer season with their newest additions: granddaughters, Fleury Pearl and Solène. 

Harvest Gold Gallery continues to be a destination for travelers, collectors and art lovers who come to not only enjoy the views of Kezar Lake but also the sense of artistry found both inside and outside the gallery.

Throughout July and August guests are invited to enjoy live plein air painting in the gardens each Saturday. Visitors will have the opportunity to watch artists at work and explore the newest additions to the gallery.

As Harvest Gold Gallery celebrates 29 summers, Bill and Lynda remain grateful for the artists, customers, friends and community members who have made this journey possible.

Lynda and Bill have been working hard to prepare for this summer season. Lynda has created two new pairs of post earrings that are featured in the store and on the website.

She has created the unique finishes on both of these half wraps through a hammering technique.

The traditional hammered look is created by repeatedly hammering gold into thinner and thinner sheets using specialized tools, often by hand

Where has time gone? Summer 2026 is upon us and with that brings new plein air sessions in the garden!

We are so exciting to be show casing some of our favorite artists live painting on the lawn of Harvest Gold on Saturdays this July and August.

What is plein air painting?

Refers to the practice of painting entire finished pictures out of doors.

The schedule is as follows below:

July 11: Kristin Dill

July 18: Hillary Dow

July 25: Sandy Bell

August 1: Rebecca Klementovich

August 8: Terry Carlson
