About Us

About Our Team

Gilded Roach is a family-owned antique, vintage, and estate jewelry business founded by a mother-daughter team with a shared love of remarkable jewelry and the stories it carries. Our surname, “Roach,” is part of our heritage and inspired a name that reflects what we believe: beauty is often found in the unexpected.

We seek out pieces with character, craftsmanship, and a sense of history, from enduring antiques to wonderfully distinctive vintage finds. Every piece is carefully considered, researched, and presented with the details we would want to know ourselves.

More than anything, we believe jewelry should feel personal. Whether you're an experienced collector, searching for your first antique piece, or simply drawn to something you can't stop thinking about, we're here to help you find jewelry worth keeping.

Our Promise

Every piece at Gilded Roach is selected with care and researched to the best of our ability. We believe you deserve to know what you're buying, so we describe our jewelry as accurately and transparently as possible, including its age, materials, condition, and any known alterations or repairs.

We stand behind the authenticity of the jewelry we sell and are always happy to answer questions, provide additional details, or help you decide whether a piece is right for you.

Our Values

History & Craftsmanship

We value jewelry that carries the artistry, techniques, and stories of the past, and we believe these pieces deserve to be appreciated for generations to come.

Authenticity & Transparency

We research each piece carefully and share what we know openly, from materials and age to condition, repairs, and alterations.

Individuality

The best jewelry doesn't have to follow a trend. We love pieces with personality, unusual details, and that wonderfully indefinable quality that makes someone say, “That's the one.”

Sustainability

Choosing antique, vintage, and estate jewelry gives beautifully made pieces another chapter while reducing the need for newly produced materials.
