I’m Dulce Jaquín, a Nicaraguan immigrant, mother of three, and the founder of Oro Dulce.

More than 15 years ago, I started by knocking on doors with a jewelry catalog that weighed more than my own dreams. Today, that gray backpack has become a brand of certified solid 14K gold jewelry, reaching customers across the United States and beyond.

Every piece of jewelry I sell carries my story: the first $500 I invested, the pandemic that almost stopped me, and my daughter’s college tuition that I paid for one piece at a time. Because to me, gold doesn’t just shine—it transforms.
