The Claim
Named for the block claim, an Australian miners’ term for a square claim marked out by a post at each corner. A rectangular face with a firm edge holds the nugget relief.
In California in November 1854, the Morgan mine at Carson Hill brought up a single mass of gold weighing 195 troy pounds, the largest on record from the state. The Block starts from the staked square: a rectangular face with clean edges, irregular nugget relief inside it and broad shoulders around it, like a square plot with the gold still in the ground. Our heavier signets, Bullion and Anvil among them, came out of this shape.
Your order details identify the selected metal. The weight is estimated from the 3D file we cast from. A cast ring comes out 2 to 3% lighter than its file, and the range shown already includes this. Your price is fixed when you pay and is never adjusted to the weight; your certificate records the actual weight. The interior is measured on the 3D design; finished samples still need workshop verification.

A claim is ground a prospector has staked, marked at the corners and recorded in their name. These are the signets: a square, oval or wide face of nugget plates, set on plain shoulders like a staked plot.
More from The ClaimMy uncle runs a jewelry workshop and makes engagement rings for brides. I develop the designs; each one is a 3D file, measured for its weight in every metal and size. His workshop casts the ring in your size after you order, and the certificate gives the metal and the cast weight.
Our story14K keeps the warm yellow of our pictures, and its price follows the gold price. Vermeil is the same ring in sterling silver covered with 18K gold, and sterling silver is the same ring again. Sterling silver and vermeil have a fixed price per design.
