Chasing Mammoths is not just a business, it’s a philosophy. Bruce Schindler breaks convention by working gold raw: straight from the creek, high karat, unrefined…hauntingly beautiful.
Bruce Schindler started Chasing Mammoths 30 years ago as a carver seeking mammoth tusks unearthed by Yukon Territory gold miners. As his relationship with the miners grew, so did his interest in the raw gold and the perilous stories it holds. There’s an ancient soul to the north and working gold raw creates jewelry with this soul intact.
10 years ago Bruce started working gold straight from the creek, unrefined, exactly as nature crafted it. This was the beginning of Schindler Gold.
At Chasing Mammoths – Schindler Gold we’re changing the paradigm in the way jewelry is mined, made, and sold. We are going rogue; we are going raw. We are unapologetically unrefined.
Chasing Mammoths recently partnered with Parker Schnabel and Little Flake Mine in our latest collaboration: Acre and Stone.
