The New Gold Rush: 3 Graces of Gold Brings Vintage Fine Jewelry to the Hamptons

There’s no better place where modern luxury meets eclectic charm than the Hamptons—and this season, a new wave of fashion consciousness is being led by vintage jewelry dealer Naz Kretlow, founder of 3 Graces of Gold. Her digital boutique, offering curated vintage and custom fine jewelry, will catch the eyes of stylish women on August 3 and August 17 at Hampton Flea + Vintage.

3 Graces of Gold offers more than just heirloom pieces—it’s part of a larger movement, one that taps into the rising appeal of vintage fashion and the comeback of gold jewelry as a symbol of individuality and slow luxury.

The Gold Rush, Reimagined
Vintage jewelry has long stood as a timeless marker of personal style. But in recent years, it’s become something more—a statement of values. Vogue dubbed the trend “The Vintage Gold Rush,” noting how younger women are rejecting mass-produced jewelry in favor of pieces with meaning.

Naz’s 3 Graces of Gold is a standout in this landscape, thanks to her refined eye and commitment to authenticity. “This resurgence is not about nostalgia,” she explains. “It’s about the enduring beauty and lore of each piece. Women are looking for jewelry that resonates with their identity—not something generic.”

With a background in art history, Naz has elevated treasure-hunting into an art form. Each item is thoughtfully sourced and presented as part of a larger narrative—one that invites the wearer to step into a story all her own.

Creating a New Legacy
What sets Naz apart from other vintage sellers is her devotion to modern storytelling. Each item has a past, yes—but her real magic lies in helping clients envision what it could mean for them today.

Whether it’s an Art Deco ring from the 1920s or a chunky 1970s gold necklace, Naz invites women to build a new legacy through their jewelry. “I want women to immediately connect to a feeling through my pieces,” she says. “It could be a personal style moment or a milestone. Either way, you know it’s for you the moment you see it.”

She’s also harnessing the power of Instagram, where 3 Graces of Gold has built a loyal following of fashion-forward women who appreciate craftsmanship, context, and thoughtful design. Her content seamlessly shows how vintage jewelry integrates into contemporary wardrobes—luxury with a lived-in edge.

Sustainability Meets Style
Another key factor driving the vintage jewelry trend is its alignment with sustainability and conscious consumerism. As the environmental costs of fast fashion become more widely known, many women are seeking beautiful, lasting alternatives.

Vintage jewelry offers a way to invest in luxury without adding to the cycle of overproduction. Even Naz’s custom pieces feature repurposed vintage gold and diamonds. “Vintage jewelry is inherently sustainable,” she says. “But more than that, it’s a way of slowing down, of cherishing the things that matter. Today’s women are embracing those values.”

Vintage Trendsetters
Naz’s rise is no accident. She’s part of a new wave of digital entrepreneurs reimagining what luxury looks like: less about status, more about substance. Her clientele includes women who want pieces that stand out, spark conversation, and mean something.

3 Graces of Gold is deeply curated—each piece chosen not just for beauty, but for wearability. Whether it’s a bold gold statement ring or a pair of sleek vintage hoops, the collection balances historical richness with a distinctly modern edge.

Looking ahead, Naz plans to expand with limited-edition themed collections, including best-selling heavy gold chains and waitlisted custom ring designs. She’s also exploring more exclusive in-person experiences—intimate gatherings for collectors and vintage enthusiasts to shop, connect, and celebrate meaningful style.

A New Chapter in Jewelry with History
3 Graces of Gold isn’t just a boutique—it’s a philosophy. It offers women a chance to wear history as a reflection of who they are today. Naz’s approach mirrors a broader shift: viewing jewelry not as a disposable trend, but as a long-term investment in personal style and legacy.

With her artistic eye and commitment to sustainability, Naz is helping to shape a new standard for modern luxury—one that honors the past while designing the future.
