The Golden Cleat

The Golden Cleat Nautically inspired fine jewelry is the core of our brand. Each piece is more than a cherished keepsake, it is a symbol of identity.

The Golden Cleat’s nautically-inspired fine jewelry collection embodies the spirit of dockside living. Our classic, timeless designs have captured the hearts of free-spirited adventurers who are drawn to the water. Fabricated by hand using the ancient technique of lost-wax casting, our jewelry is offered in sterling silver and solid 14k gold. The Golden Cleat was founded in 2014 by Emilie Cardinau

x. Her artistic inspiration can be traced to childhood summers spent on the majestic St. Lawrence River in the Thousand Islands where boating is a way of life. The Golden Cleat Flagship Store located at 534 Riverside Drive in Clayton, NY opened in May of 2017 and stays open year round. If you can’t make it in person, you can place orders through our online shop, thegoldencleat.com.

Bid on this solid 14K gold muskie necklace and more at the TILT annual summer gathering this Saturday, July 18th from 6-9pm. This year’s gathering will be held at Oak Lodge, which is located at 45496 Landon Road on Wellesley Island. Tickets are $150 and can be purchased at the door. All proceeds to benefit the essential conservation and stewardship of the Thousand Islands.

Muskellunge, commonly called muskies, are one of the most sought after trophy game fish in the St. Lawrence River. Anglers come from all over the world in search of these impressive fish, which can grow to be several feet long.

TILT has long since advocated to protect muskie spawning areas and sensitive wetlands and encourages catch and release fishing practices through outreach and education, paving the way towards a healthy, sustainable muskie population for future generations.

This solid 14K gold Muskie Charm retails for $1,495 and the genuine, ethically sourced Small Turquoise Strand retails for $300, bringing the combined retail value of the necklace to $1,795. This piece was designed and handcrafted right here in the Thousand Islands. All proceeds from the silent auction will be donated to TILT.

Happy Earth Day 🌎💙

Today we celebrate the beauty, power, and life of the St. Lawrence River — a waterway that connects communities, fuels adventure, and reminds us why protecting our planet matters.

From sunrise reflections to golden hour tides, every ripple tells a story worth preserving. Here’s to cleaner waters, stronger shores, and doing our part—on and off the dock.
