A Legacy of Contemporary Fine Jewelry

From Karl Lee Big Sur to Big Sur Goldsmiths

Big Sur Goldsmiths represents our family tradition of crafting jewelry celebrates the beauty of individuality.

Founded in the 1960’s by my late father, Karl Lee, our work is grounded in the timeless designs he created. Today, we continue this legacy with contemporary pieces that reflect the natural landscapes of Big Sur, carrying forward the skilled craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations.

Each piece is unique, carefully handcrafted and fabricated—not cast—from recycled gold that we alloy and mill in-house. We are committed to using ethically sourced gemstones, ensuring that our creations are as responsible as they are beautiful.

Distinctive yet versatile, our jewelry is designed for daily wear, blending simplicity with elegance. Every piece we craft tells a story of tradition, innovation, and the artistry of the human hand, inviting you to embrace authenticity in your style. Our work captures the spirit of nature and honors the legacy of our family with every creation.
