GLDN’s Affordable, Personalized Jewelry Makes The Perfect Gift
Written by Katie Hintz-Zambrano

Ten years ago, single mama Chrissy Lavdovsky started her Etsy shop with one goal in mind: creating the perfect personalized gift. What began in her kitchen-slash-studio (with her own mother as her first employee) has grown over the past decade to two expanded workspaces and over 85 employees, all using their hands to create high quality jewelry that’s both personal and accessible for all.
Now called GLDN, the beloved brand is known for its highly giftable pieces—rings, necklaces, bracelets, lockets, etc.—that can be customized with meaningful initials, names, dates, and illustrations. An ideal gift for moms, grandmas, and even a child’s first keepsake jewelry piece—we’ve pulled together some of our favorite GLDN picks for holiday gifting below!
