The History of Gold Art

It is our goal to set the hallmark in retail jewelry with competence, quality, and integrity.

It all began in the late 1970’s. Brothers Danny and Tony Clarke started doing jewelry repair work "after hours" for local jewelry stores who didn’t have bench jewelers. This business venture showed promise and so, in 1980, Danny decided to take some advanced jewelry courses at a well-known trade school in Paris, Texas.

After two years of intensive training in jewelry design, casting and gemology, Danny returned to Mobile, Alabama and set up a small shop in the back room of a store nestled in Mobile’s Spring Hill area. Danny called the business "Jewelry Craft by Clarke". There, the business started moving away from "trade-type work" as Danny began building his own customer base through quality jewelry and craftmanship. during this time, pat and tony clarke, danny’s two older brothers, joined the team as a bench jeweler and bookkeeper, respectively. The family business quickly outgrew the small, back room shop and relocated to The Holiday Place at 4513 Old Shell Road. With the new location, came a new name: "Gold Art Designs in Jewelry".

flash forward to now, We’re located just next door from our old location at 4503 Old Shell Road in the heart of spring hill. we pride ourselves in offering a bespoke experience to each client, mastering the art of personalized service, quality jewelry, and craftsmanship through decades of experience.
