About American Iron & Gold

Old-World Skill, Modern Perfection

American Iron & Gold was founded on a simple belief: things worth owning should be made well, and craftsmanship still matters.

With more than 15 years of professional experience at the jeweler’s bench, founder Jesse Troutman brings a hands-on background in custom jewelry design, repair, restoration, stone setting, casting, hand fabrication, laser welding, and wax carving to every project.

American Iron & Gold specializes in creating and restoring pieces meant to last—from custom engagement rings and wedding bands to heirloom redesigns, repairs, and one-of-a-kind jewelry. Rather than approaching jewelry as a mass-produced product, each project is treated individually, with attention given to the materials, construction, function, and story behind the piece.

The name American Iron & Gold reflects a broader appreciation for skilled trades, enduring materials, and objects made with purpose. It represents the meeting of traditional craftsmanship and modern precision—the same philosophy behind our motto:

Old-World Skill, Modern Perfection.

Whether restoring a piece that has been in a family for generations or creating something entirely new, the goal is the same: to produce work worthy of being used, worn, and passed down.
