The Gilded Lace Collection is a vintage and antique lace that's cut, shaped, structured, and dipped in sterling silver and 24k gold.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, designed by Monika Knutsson and handmade by her and her small team of artisans in New York City.
Monika Knutsson can also create a custom piece or collection for those seeking an original piece of jewelry made from their
own -perhaps heirloom- lace. We love working with clients to transform heirloom lace with a history that's precious to them,
into jewelry with a personal connection and story. By dipping delicate lace in sterling silver or 24k gold, the beauty and
value of the lace are preserved. Custom jewelry pieces often feature lace from a family wedding dress or perhaps a
mother's or grandmother's trousseau or other lace finery.
IMPORTANT ADVICE: If you would like custom made Gilded Lace jewelry as Holiday gifts, we need to receive the order by Friday, November 15, 2019.
Customer Testimonial
Monika's jewelry is divine. Her pieces are a generational and transcontinental thread amongst women, separated once by time and space; their history and stories are now woven together, taking the form of exquisite jewellery. Each time I wear Monika's pieces, I'm reminded of these women and feel connected and vital. I've also had the privilege of Monika designing custom-made jewellery, and she is supremely kind with a very sharp, creative artistic eye. She has both a powerful intuition and eye for design and a deep commitment to preserving the integrity of the lace. Monika's pieces are, ultimately, an invitation to experiences - to connect with the elegance of the past and present at once.

Customer Testimonial
I have been a delighted customer of Monika Knutsson's exquisite gilded antique lace jewelry ever since she first created the ingenious process that would become GILDED LACE. I wear my pieces of Gilded Lace frequently and continually receive compliments from strangers on their unique beauty. I have earrings, necklaces and bracelets, in sterling silver, 18K yellow gold, and rose gold. Monika is a delightful person, a world class artist, and stylish businesswoman. She puts tremendous care into both her creations and her first rate customer service. I love the velvet bags, tags, and lacy tissue paper in which she wraps her creations for delivery. In the future, I plan to have Monika create jewelry from antique lace left to me by my recently departed Swedish mother. I would trust this precious delicate lace to no one else!

I had a bracelet and earrings made from my mom's wedding dress for me to wear on my wedding day! I surprised my mom with them the morning of the wedding and she was so blown away! The jewelry was beautiful and it was so special to wear it as I walked down the aisle! I would definitely recommend doing this! I can pass this jewelry along to my kids and it will forever be a special family heirloom. Monika was so helpful and personable and really helped me create exactly what I was envisioning for the jewelry!

I’m on the West Coast, so browsing and shopping through the Gilded Lace website has made it so easy for me to arrange these special gifts for my wife. And, Monika has worked with me personally to make sure I get each beautiful piece in time for every special occasion. I can’t thank Monika enough for the look of surprise and love in my wife’s eyes every time she’s opens her gifts from Gilded Lace. And, for making me look like a hero!

Working Monika was truly a dream! She made my earrings and bracelet for my wedding day, as well as a bracelet for my mom and cuff links for my uncle, all made from my Grandmother's wedding lace. Monika was so personable, met with both me and my mom several times, and was extremely communicative. The final product was better than we could have imagined. I got more compliments on my jewelry at my wedding than anything else. It was truly special to have a piece of my Grandmother with me on my wedding day. I can't recommend Monika highly enough!

There is something double rainbow special about Monika Knutsson's craftsmanship. When you own one of her pieces you really feel like a queen! And when she turns your wedding lace into a gorgeous accessory, like she did for me - it's uber precious because it's something no one else has. And that specialty, that uniqueness is symbolic to me of my marriage, of the man who treasures me and I him! (Along with the wedding rings of course:) I hope ladies everywhere the same happiness the Gilded Lace Collection has brought me!
