CDF Jewelry is two partners, Adam Salameh and Bill Healey, the owners of Clamdiggers Forge LLC, and one counter of sterling, gold, vintage, and estate jewelry.

Why Clamdiggers?

Ipswich, Massachusetts, is clam country, and digging clams is early, hard, honest work. We took the name from that coast and run the counter the same way: stamped metal, true weights, and no shortcuts.

Why Forge?

The forge is in the name because we really pour. A few pieces come off our own bench, cast by hand in small batches: copper tokens, bolo ties, a lobster ring, and the North Shore Roast Beef signet. We plan to pour more. The casting photos on this page are ours, and you can see how a pour goes or shop the forge.

What we sell

Most of what is on the counter we choose rather than make: heavy sterling, gold-plated sterling, solid 10K, 14K, and 18K gold, and estate pieces worth a second look. Adam Salameh does the buying. Bill Healey lists each piece and ships your order.

Plain about what it is

Only the forge pieces are made by us, and we say so. Every listing states whether a piece is solid gold, gold-plated, or sterling silver. You’ll find new and previously owned pieces here.

Weighed to the gram

Silver and gold are sold by weight, so every listing shows the weight in grams, the metal, and the stamp. Chains also show their width, length, and price per gram, so you can compare them fairly, here or anywhere.
