“Bess”
Excited to share a new piece of fine jewelry with you and a bit of our own family history. “Bess”
A little about this design + it’s name:
Bess was my Mother's Great Aunt. A registered nurse who spent time in the Philippines and passed away around WWI. At her passing she gave a ring of this design to my Grandmother, who gave it to my Mom and for a time my older sister wore it. Four generations in and the ring had been well loved, but needed refurbishing. Recast using the same gold from the original and set with a new Citrine she's ready for more generations to come.
Out of a deep desire to preserve the beauty of the people and natural resources on our planet, your ring is crafted with 100% reclaimed 14k gold and ethically mined natural stones.
Each stones measures 6x4mm and is set in a channel setting, offering a beautiful low profile, classic piece of fine jewelry.
This piece is customizable to your size and desired stone using the easy to use “drop down” feature. Please allow a 3-week turnaround time for all orders as each piece is made-to-order. You will receive your piece wrapped and in a Walnut box.
