For the golden moments
At Kin and Gold, we believe jewelry should be more than just beautiful — it should mean something.
Founded by Lena Porter in Olympia, WA, Kin and Gold is a small, woman and native owned business creating modern heirlooms from 14k gold filled and sterling silver. Every piece is made to last, with intention behind every link, spark, and engraving.
From welded permanent jewelry to custom silhouette pendants and personalized lockets, our work is rooted in connection — to the people you love, the stories you carry, and the moments worth remembering.
Our permanent jewelry studio offers private appointments and pop-up events in the Olympia area, perfect for celebrating milestones or making everyday feel a little more special.
Whether you're here to mark a memory, give a gift, or simply treat yourself — welcome. We're so glad you're here.
Meet The Maker
— founder of Kin and Gold, mother of four, and a lifelong artist and maker at heart.
My love for keepsakes began with the little things: handwritten notes, pressed flowers, vintage photographs tucked in lockets. I’ve always believed in the power of small, meaningful details to carry the stories we want to remember.
After years as a photographer, capturing quiet, fleeting moments for others, I felt a pull to create something just as lasting — something you could wear close. Kin and Gold grew from that desire: to craft timeless, personalized jewelry that holds memory and meaning.
Every piece I make is designed with intention — to celebrate connection, to honor the people you love, and to live beautifully with time.
Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to create something special with you.
— xoxo Lena
