A small cushion face for the little finger.
The Claim
A grubstake was food and gear advanced to a prospector for a share of the find.
A prospector with no money went out on a grubstake: someone else paid for the food and equipment in return for a share of whatever turned up. In the Klondike, Canada required everyone coming in to bring a year’s food, at least 1,095 pounds per person; with the gear, people spoke of a ton of goods to haul over the Chilkoot Pass. This Pinky is the low version: a cushion-shaped face of nugget texture set close to the finger, with polished sides to the head.
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.

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.
