GLDN is a direct-to-consumer jewelry brand that blends craft and technology to bring delight and connection through meaningful, personalized pieces. We design, manufacture, and ship from our headquarters in La Conner, Washington. We are growing — and our production team needs to grow with us for our upcoming busy holiday season.

Are you someone who loves working with your hands with repetitive, meditative processes? Are you a self starter who is constantly looking for ways to do things better? Do you enjoy working around doggos? If this applies to you, please keep reading… We make jewelry and value learning, connection, having fun and being impactful. We need a few new team members who love detailed, repetitive work and bringing joy to others as much as we do to help us through our busy Christmas rush season!
