Kia ora, I'm Luke... The Founder of Golden Bay Gold
I grew up in the heart of Golden Bay, where my love for the outdoors and gold mining began. As a kid, I spent countless hours panning the local rivers, learning the slow, patient art of finding colour in the water. Over time, that childhood fascination became a lifelong passion and a deep respect for the land that shaped me.
Golden Bay Gold was created to share that connection, not just to raw and handcrafted gold, but to the “golden” products, makers, and stories that come from this special part of New Zealand.
Everything here is inspired by nature, local craftsmanship, and the simple idea of keeping things real, ethical, and authentic.
Thanks for being here, and welcome to Golden Bay Gold… where the treasures of our region come to life.
