Hello from Harvest Gold Gallery! Are you looking for a unique colorful ring? Well, we are delighted to introduce two new yellow-gold rings, both featuring bi-color gemstones!

Tourmaline was established within Maine in 1820, but didn't gain much recognition until the 19th century. It's eventual popularity was greatly due to the discovery of watermelon tourmaline! Watermelon tourmaline was first found in the Dunton Mine, in Newry, Maine, during the year of 1902. It's an entirely unique variety of tourmaline, that features not one, but two vibrant colors. The dazzling pink center of the gem is primarily produced by the presence of manganese, while the vivid green exterior is primarily produced by the presence of iron. Watermelon tourmaline is still beloved and admired, and frequently used in current jewelry designs. 

So, in the spirit of summertime sunshine and enjoying refreshing fruit at the beach, we bring to you: two fruit themed gemstone rings, made from Maine's very own watermelon tourmaline! 

Below, the Dragon Fruit ring is shown. This ring has a rectangle gem with a stunning green to pink gradient, and two round diamonds on either side:

Below, the Watermelon Slice ring is displayed. It has a kite shaped gemstone with a wonderful blend of pink and green color, as well as two diamond strips on either side:

Both rings are handmade with love, and shown in size 6 and 1/2, but may be changed if requested. We encourage you to add a pop of color and positivity to your life with either of these rings! 

Come out and paint, learn, or chat with one of our artists, Kris Horten! Kris is new to our Gallery this year, though she has been painting and making art for much longer. Below is an excerpt from an article about her you can catch in the Conway or Bridgeton newspapers! 

"Kris is an artist who is relieved to finally have the time, along with her enthusiastic dedication and to devote herself to the joy of making visual art. After a career of art teaching, entrepreneurship, child rearing, she has found her second career in creating in oil and acrylic paint. She describes it as “speaking her heart” through visual storytelling."

We are so proud to announce that we will be attending the Lovell Arts and Artisans fair this Saturday August 16th from 9-3pm! While it is our 28th year of having Harvest Gold Gallery it is our 30th year attending the fair - crazy right!? Come out and see a curated selection of our wares from Harvest Gold and to say hi! 

Our Beginnings: On the eve of Christmas Eve 28 years ago, Bill and Lynda Rudd (with kids Carley and Morgan in tow) moved into what would become Yankee Magazine’s “Best Gallery in New England” in Center Lovell. Having started to participate in the Arts and Artisans Fair 30 years ago now, at the time while living in Fryeburg, they had no idea they would be making the move to Lovell just a few short years later and be at the heart of the arts community where the fair takes place. The Lovell Arts and Artisans Fair was the first retail experience for Lynda and Bill of Harvest Gold.

Overwhelmed by the beauty of the White Mountains and Kezar Lake, Lynda and Bill couldn’t help but fall in love with the former Severance Real Estate property.

Their jewelry was already known for its beauty and Maine tourmaline; it had been sold to jewelry stores and fine craft galleries all over America for ten years working from their Fryeburg basement.  As they worked on their new space, they called upon their friends in the artisan world to begin to expand their array of fine craft and paintings in the gallery.

As the paintings were painted, the sculptures sculpted and the glass was blown, the gallery began looking like a little museum.  A current count revealed 200 different artists who have shown or are now showing their special talents in this unique gallery.

 Harvest Gold Gallery is now a place where people come from far and wide, not only for the views of Kezar Lake and the White Mountains, but for the beauty inside where every piece is made with love. It was possible because of this wonderful community of artists and art lovers.  

Enjoy these photos from a recent client who had her grandmothers pearls (strung in a necklace) remade into a bracelet to match her style better. Now she gets to wear her heirloom in a way that still feels authentic to her own personal style!
