AMERICAN GOLD was born in 2008 by Suzanne Ford Carafano in an effort to capture a glimpse of the American Spirit through the lens of old world glamour. Drawing inspiration from personal vintage clothing and folk art collections, as well as extensive re-locating and traveling, American Gold’s pieces evoke the charm of Old California, the magic of New Mexico, the mystery of the South, and sleeping under foreign skies.

True to its name, American Gold is proudly designed and produced in Los Angeles, California. With an insistence on high quality construction and attention to detail, every American Gold piece is intended to be a keepsake that survives the ebb and flow of the trends of the moment. In this effort, Suzanne works closely with designer and production guru, Breanna Tharaldson, brother, Christopher Ford, and partner and husband, Vincent Carafano.
