About
Gold & Grit was started in 2016 by native-born Brooklynite, Melissa Fernandez.
Melissa had a vision for bringing high quality jewelry and home goods to Southern Brooklyn. For eight years, Melissa has become a staple for the Bay Ridge community while expanding her base nationwide. She works closely with craftsmen to curate the finest pieces, and takes great pride in ensuring the highest quality of jewelry, home-goods, and self care items displayed in the shop.
When she isn't busy searching for new treasures and artisans to work with, she is designing and handcrafting Gold & Grit's in-house collection of demi-fine jewelry.
Since we have been at our Bay Ridge location, we have expanded our collections by incorporating new designers, home-goods, and an apothecary section. All of the products in the shop continue to be made locally and nationwide.
Visit our shop to find exclusive products which cannot be found on our online storefront, including incense, candles, roll-on oils, and perfumes.
