Our Story

Welcome to Alaska Goldworks—our jewelry design studio! We’re thrilled to introduce you to not just our business, but also our family and the heart behind everything we create. Located in Fairbanks, the Golden Heart of Alaska, our jewelry studio is more than just a place to shop—it’s a space where craftsmanship, connection, and the beauty of Alaska come together.

Our family is the foundation of Alaska Goldworks. We are a husband-and-wife team passionate about blending artistry and tradition to create stunning, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces. Craig—husband, father, and master jeweler—brings years of expertise and a love for working with natural Alaskan gold nuggets, while Angie—wife, mother, and mastermind—manages the business and ensures every customer feels welcome and valued. Our daughters, ages 12 and 16, are an integral part of our journey. We homeschool them and cherish the opportunity to have them by our side every day, learning the art of jewelry making from their father and experiencing the joy and challenges of running a family business with their mom.

We’re proud to call Fairbanks our home. Living here inspires everything we do— from the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife to the warm, resilient spirit of the community. When we’re not in the studio, you’ll find us exploring Alaska’s great outdoors, cherishing moments with our family, and enjoying life with our two dogs, Gracie and Koda, who are just as much a part of the studio as we are.

At Alaska Goldworks, we invite you to experience the unique charm of our studio. With an open workshop where you can watch the artistry unfold, opportunities to engage with us as craftspeople, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, we aim to create not just jewelry but memories as well. Whether you’re looking for a custom design or a piece that tells a story of Alaska’s rich history or the time you’ve spent here, we hope you’ll stop by, say hello, and let us share our passion with you.

Thank you for supporting our dream and allowing us to share the magic of Alaska through our work. We look forward to meeting you and becoming a part of your story!
