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! 

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!

Harvest Gold Gallery is honored to display Jean Swan Gordon paintings. She was born in 1922 and lived her early years in Old Lyme, CT where at only 14 years old she was studying under a local artist due to her talent. At first she only drew pen and pencil line drawings, many of them are figures of people. It wasn't until her later years that she started painting flowers, however they became an incredible success- both for Jean and anyone to behold them. Sadly Jean passed away in 2013, yet her spirit lives on in every brush stroke of every flower in her paintings.

This piece is one that is new to us, come and see how beautiful it is in person!

"As with people, no two are the same. They can move around like people, and there’s something challenging about that. That’s why I try to convey in my work the vigor, energy, and variety of flowers at various stages of growth and development.”
~ Jean Swan Gordon

We've been carrying Four Winds Farm's felted soap at Harvest Gold for over two years now! What is felted soap? It's soap in its own washcloth! Fiber artist Jan Winsor of Four Winds Farm in Gorham, ME has partnered with soap makers to sell this fun product.

Jan became interested in the fiber arts over 20 years ago and has progressed to becoming a full time fiber artist with a farm. She has a small flock of sheep from which she gets the wool to create artworks as well as felted soap.

She uses either hand crafted soap from Medicine Wheel Herbals, or goat's milk soap from Knotty Goat Soapery or Spiritwind Farm and then "felts" them with wool from her own sheep. The soap is wrapped in a thin layer of felt, so it lathers up without needing a washcloth. When the soap is gone, the felt can be used as a scrubbie.

In addition to smelling fabulous, these soaps are made from all natural ingredients and are eco-friendly! Ditch bottled soaps filled with chemicals and try out this product. Not only are you helping the planet, but you're supporting multiple small businesses. Give it a try today and pick up a bar at the Harvest Gold Gallery.

Lacey Pots have arrived just in time for summer! These beautiful ceramic vases have the obvious purpose of holding flowers or twigs, but alone they also make a statement. The style we have comes in three different sizes- "itty bitty", "mini" and a larger make. Not only do they come in many different colors, but there are several different patterns: polka-dots, floral, swirly and striped. 

Itty bitty size in blue with polka-dots!

Due to the small size of the mini pots, they're the perfect decor for a small work space or coffee table. You could even keep it on a bed stand with some flowers to make your area more lively!

Mini size in pink with floral pattern!

The mini size is the middle ground between the itty bitty vases and the large vases, it's big enough to be able to draw attention to itself while still being small enough to add to a smaller space.

Largest size in dark green with swirls! 

This style would make a great centerpiece for a table or on a shelf, these pieces are attentions grabbers. The large size allows enough room for an overflowing bouquet of flowers to be placed inside.

One of our most iconic pieces is easily our cut-out jewelry collection. The look is simple, yet eye catching and intricate. Lynda skillfully hand-cuts each individual design to create the beautiful cut-out. "The Tree of Life" is historically the most popular, however Lynda makes a wide array of designs for the gallery and custom cut-outs such as states, names, and animals! All of the Harvest Gold Jewelry cut-outs can be made in either 14k yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, or sterling silver as a pendant for any kind of jewelry your heart desires. 

Shown above is a gorgeous pair of sterling silver earrings with a Lady Slipper cut-out! This style of jewelry is perfect because it can be worn daily and causally, however it can also be dressed up for a more formal look.
