athy Straus, a goldsmith and gemologist, established Little River Goldsmith on May 1st, 1996 in the lovely, picturesque setting of Stowe, Vermont. Since that time, Kathy and her beautiful designs have built up a local and international clientele.

Many visitors returning to Stowe make a point of stopping at Little River Goldsmith to see what new and different designs she has to offer. And Kathy doesn’t stop there! Little River Goldsmith features many other designs from jewelry artists far and wide.

Our friendly staff welcomes new clients to visit the little shop by the Little River and browse our collections of exquisite jewelry pieces. We have everything from Platinum to Sterling Silver and gems of many kinds. Other gift items, such as exquisite hand-made jewelry boxes, are available. Our mission at Little River Goldsmith is to offer our customers the finest quality in jewelry and designs. We strive every day to meet the needs and desires of all our customers.

Matthew Taylor is an artisan metal-smith, specializing in the design and craft of fine custom jewelry. His creations are each carefully brought to life in his small Vermont studio.

Matthew prides himself on creating high-quality metal art for the individual customer. He will work with you from start to a finished product. Prices are not included on the website due to the fact that each piece is unique and cost varies dramatically based on type of metal & quality of stone. Matthew is willing to work within any budget; however, the higher the quality, the nicer the piece.

Designer jewelry hand-forged in precious metals and fine gemstones. Timothy Grannis has perfected the forging of Mokume Gane, a time-honored Japanese metalworking technique used in many of his designs. Mokume Gane (a Japanese word meaning wood-grain metal) is a process that forges together different metals. In the case of Timothy's jewelry, finely layered colored golds are carved and forged into a wood-grain pattern in 14k, 18k, and 22k.
