The story

The Lode

California’s pocket hunters went after small pockets of gold near the surface.

In California, some prospectors looked for neither lodes nor placers but for pockets: small concentrations of gold near the surface, in the Mother Lode districts. They were called pocket hunters. Off-Center puts its relief to one side, where the pocket is, never in the middle: an uneven crest rises toward one shoulder, so the outline of the ring changes as it turns on the finger.

Description
  • An uneven crest rises toward one shoulder. Its asymmetry changes the silhouette as the ring turns.
  • Part of The Lode: one run of relief through polished gold. See the collection
Details
  • Made to order in your size, US 4 to 15, half sizes included
  • Cast by my uncle’s workshop after you order, in about 2 to 3 weeks
  • Certificate with the metal and the cast weight: how to tell if a nugget ring is real

Occasion

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.

About the collection, the workshop and the gold

No. 521 Outcrop nugget ring in 14K yellow gold, on an ochre rock face crossed by a white quartz vein

The Lode

Lode gold is still in the rock, in veins, along faults, where it shows at the surface. These rings are mostly polished gold with one run of nugget relief through them, the way a vein crosses stone.

My uncle’s workshop

My 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 story

14K, vermeil or silver

14K 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.
