Charlotte Jewelry
Charlotte, North Carolina, located in the southern United States was incorporated in 1768 as a town, later to become a city of over 700, 000 people. Perhaps one of the biggest claims to fame garnered by this city was that in 1799 a local farmer’s boy discovered the first nugget (17 pounds) of gold ever to be verified in the United Sates. This of course set the stage for the Charlotte jewelry industry, still today alive and well with many jewelers fashioning Charlotte engagement rings and Charlotte wedding rings.
The boy who found this yellow rock used it as a door stop for almost three years before a jeweler came to assess it and discovered that it was almost entirely pure gold. The boy named his price, $3.50 and that was that. In actuality, the Charlotte gold nugget was worth a little over $3,500, 100 times more than what the boy asked for. Now, you probably won’t find gold rocks laying around in the city as most of it has been mined, however, finding beautiful Charlotte jewelry pieces is as easy as pie.
The Charlotte wedding industry is alive and well, perhaps this is due to the history with gold, or simply because love is in the air. No matter the reason, a summer outdoor wedding in Charlotte is guaranteed to be beautiful, and who knows maybe, just maybe you will trip over a gold nugget.
Charlotte is also known for many other things aside from the gold, they have a huge Gospel and R & B scene, boasting some of the most beautiful voices in the US of A, including the ever popular K-Ci and Jo Jo. As well, they have exported some wonderful acting talents such as Skeet Ulrich. Luckily these stars have all arrived at fame’s door looking fabulous in Charlotte jewelry. Only the best for the local talents, taking Charlotte style to a whole new crowd and city.
