The choice of textured silver perfectly echoes bygone eras in a way that yellow gold, rose gold, or even 14K white gold cannot emulate. Moreover, we chose pure silver rather than plated silver to emphasize the exceptionality of each piece. For gemstones, instead of pearl, amethyst, or “bright” stones, we select black diamonds, lava rock, black onyx, rubies, and garnets, with tones that perfectly match textured silver and their profound connection to the Divine Feminine.
