About this business

Goldworks offers bespoke jewelry designing services in classic as well as contemporary trends. It uses high-quality recycled gold in its ornaments, along with silver, platinum, diamonds and other gemstones. Its strength lies in Mokume-gane, a Japanese technique used to produce unusual patterns on rings such as a tree bark or animal skin. These rings can be customized to represent unique themes and symbols, which hold a personal meaning to the buyer. Customers can also shop for conventional wedding bands made from white gold ... read more

Beautiful work, wonderful people – I searched the net for weeks looking for the someone to make our wedding rings. I knew I'd come to the right place when I found the Goldworks site. Everyone I spoke with or emailed was helpful and knowledgeable. Their prices are fair, the materials and workmanship superb, and the artistry well, you won't find anything like their designs anywhere else. We now have two gorgeous, unique rings; one mokume-gane made by Ted and the other, one of Wren's pieces. We were able to do everything over t... read more

Great Service – Every time I've walked into Goldworks, I have had an excellent experience. I have interacted with several different staff members, and they have all been incredibly helpful and willing to work with me. It does not have the feeling of a large, impersonal jewelry store, but instead has a much more welcoming atmosphere. They are also excellent at what they do. I now recommend them to everyone I know.

Exquisite Jewelry made by Genuine Artists – I have bought several pieces at Goldworks and highly recommend them. The jewelry pieces are works of art and each piece shows off the creativity and excellence of the artist that made it. It just feels great to wear something that is not only beautiful but also has meaning. The whole experience at Goldworks is pleasant and Wren really takes her time to get to know you and show you their precious art without being pushy. The store is more of a studio and the other art, including pot... read more

Best Jewelery Shop in Chapel Hill - beautiful stuff, great people, low key, great prices. – I had done a lot of shopping around from online to on foot and but when I walked in and was greeted by Erica I felt right at home. Erica had a small selection of very nice diamonds in the range I was looking for. Every one that I looked at was high quality and after previously comparing prices versus internet sites like Blue Nile I found they were very well priced relative to online and much better priced than other local stores. Plus... read more

The entire experience was FANTASTIC! – My boyfriend proposed marriage to me in May 2007 and presented me with a beautiful diamond - the ring setting itself was simple because he said it was "temporary". He wanted me to meet with Wren at Goldworks and she would design a setting that I would like. Seven months went by before I could arrange the time. I recently met with Wren and we modified one of her previous designs to personalize it for me. I was very impressed with her personal approach and her expertise. Yesterday I picke... read more

Hands down, the best jeweler I've worked with – Goldworks completely changed my perspective and attitude towards the whole engagement ring buying process! Prior to discovering Wren (the owner of Goldworks), I had spent weeks visiting store after store throughout Chapel Hill and the Triangle. Some places were ridiculously overpriced for what they offered. Some acted like used car salesmen, while others flat out lied to me about what they were selling. A friend finally turned me on to Goldworks and, after an initial call, my s... read more

Great artistic experience getting our rings – Two different friends recommended Goldworks for their design ability and their willingness to work with unique designs. We worked closely with Ken on our ring designs. He helped us find similar designs on the Internet and then drew out a great design. He worked with the materials and the gems we wanted. Wren created a pair of custom earrings for us and we love the art that went into this piece as well. The other folks at Goldworks helped us with logistics and we had a blast with ... read more

Unique custom jewelry in Chapel Hill – My husband and I had been looking for new unique wedding bands for years and had not found the right jeweler. A friend recommended Goldworks to us. We met with Ted and Wren Hendrickson who helped us design the custom, unique rings we were looking for in the Mokume Gane style. We were so thrilled with the professional, knowledgable, down-to-earth, patient staff!! Everyone who contributed made this a great experience for us. The rings we had made surpassed our expectations in quality and ... read more

Beautiful jewelry, great customer service – My husband and I were just recently married (October 6th, 2007) and we both have wedding bands from Goldworks. I can not begin to express how happy we both are with our rings. It?s not only the jewelry that makes Goldworks the best, but the relaxed environment and the warm, personable customer service. My husband chose a Mokume Gane band made by Ted Hendrickson and I have a set that was designed by Wren Hendrickson. Both are very gifted artists and we are delighted to have found th... read more
