The River nugget collection
The River nugget collection: rings in solid 14K gold or sterling silver, most of them bands, textured all the way round like gold-bearing gravel lining a riverbed. Placer gold is gold the river has already freed from the rock and dropped in its gravel.
The rings
The gold of a placer lies in the gravel, and these rings carry it the same way. Placer and the Nugget Bands are textured all the way round; Thread and Grain keep the relief to the top, over plain polished gold.
