Emilie Cardinaux is the creative force behind The Golden Cleat. With her studio and flagship store overlooking the St. Lawrence River in the Thousand Islands region of northern NY, life on the water provides a constant source of inspiration. The archipelago of nearly 2,000 islands just east of Lake Ontario straddles the New York-Canadian border for nearly fifty miles of freshwater paradise. Here, boating is not only a cherished pastime but a way of life.
The Golden Cleat’s nautically inspired fine jewelry collection embodies the spirit of dockside living. Fabricated by hand using the ancient technique of lost wax casting, each piece of jewelry is sustainably handcrafted from sterling silver or solid 14k gold and genuine, ethically sourced gemstones. The Golden Cleat’s elegant, timeless designs capture the hearts of free-spirited adventurers who are drawn to the water.
The Golden Cleat studio and flagship store is located at 534 Riverside Drive in Clayton, NY in the heart of the Thousand Islands and is open 10:00am - 6:00pm daily.
