About Us

Rachel Wilkerson, owner of The Gold Shop, and her husband, mined Gold for a living - mining over half the Gold presently atop the Georgia Capital Dome in downtown Atlanta. As a retired Gold Miner, Rachel now enjoys serving people who have an interest in the History of the area, and an interest in the lovely metal that the Cherokee Indians named ''Talonega'', meaning ''Golden'' or ''Yellow Metal''.

The Gold Shop has been serving the people and visitors of beautiful Dahlonega, Georgia since 1977. One of The Gold Shop's specialties is the custom-made original work done for those special occasions when a person wants something created which reflects the uniqueness of the wearer!
