The Archive Ring is inspired by the silver linings of childhood. The nostalgia of a hot pink gemstone reminds me of playing dress-up for hours, invading my mother’s lipstick drawers, collecting stickerbooks, and painting my whole hands with nail polish. We contain chapters upon chapters of memories we can access, and this ring was designed for us to remember moments of pure joy, even as our worlds inevitably become more complicated with age. Let it be a warm, sparkly beacon of mischievousness on your finger.
Gold vermeil is an overlay of gold over a base of sterling silver. The gold colour will age gracefully as the piece lightens to a 10K gold or warm silver colour. The rate of aging depends on care, climate and individual body chemistry, and may vary greatly on a case by case basis. As rings are worn on the hand, and are exposed to more frequent rubbing, they will often age more quickly than necklaces or earrings.
To extend the gold colour of your vermeil pieces, remove when washing hands, showering, applying lotions or perfumes, using cleansers, or working out. Store your jewelry in a dry place, preferably in individual air-tight bags. Do not use chemical jewelry cleansers or polishing cloths on gold vermeil jewelry.
