Meet Kelly and Manos, creators of gold and smoke

"Sometimes, the treasures we seek are hidden in the most unlikely of places, waiting for us to open our hearts and minds to the beauty of the unexpected." - Paulo Coelho

Welcome to the world of Gold and Smoke, where bullets become symbols of beauty and strength, and the artistry of transformation knows no bounds.

Combining their experience in art, design, marketing, and luxury sales, with decades in the jewelry industry, husband and wife team, Kelly and Manos, have created designs for a concept brand of jewelry, that predominantly centers around one simple element, a flattened bullet.

With powerful messaging within each design, every necklace, bracelet, and ring carries the legacy of the flattened bullet, a symbol of transformation and the power to rise above adversity. Believing all humans possess unyielding inner strength, and with a desire to champion a message of empowerment, their tagline emerged, "You Are Bulletproof." Inviting one to step into a world where jewelry becomes an emblem, a talisman of inner strength, where each piece carries a story of triumph and resilience to remind  the wearer and tell the world YOU ARE BULLETPROOF .
