The story of Low & Wide

The River

The Golden Eagle nugget of 1931 was flat and wide, shaped like a bird with its wings spread.

In the Yukon and Alaska, miners called the gravel left high on valley sides bench gravel, and staked bench claims on it. Some of the biggest finds are flat and wide. In January 1931, during the Great Depression, Jim Larcombe, 16 or 17 years old, found a nugget of about 1,135 troy ounces at Larkinville in Western Australia: the Golden Eagle. Low & Wide has that low, broad shape, a crown of rounded nugget peaks that follows the hand without standing off it.

Description
  • Rounded peaks gather across a broad, low crown. The shoulders taper into a smooth inner band.
  • Part of The River: textured all the way round the band. See the collection

No. 507 Riverbed nugget ring in 14K yellow gold, on a wet dark pebble in black river sand

The River

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.

Our story

14K or silver

Solid 14K gold keeps the warm yellow of our pictures. Sterling silver is the same ring again. Each has one fixed price per design.
