The story of Navette

The River

Navette is French for a small boat, and the jeweler’s name for a long oval with two points. Here that shape is filled with fine nugget relief and lies flat along the finger.

In the spring of 1898, thousands of gold seekers waited at Lake Bennett for the ice to break. All winter they had sawn planks by hand to build their boats. When the lake opened at the end of May, the fleet set off for Dawson City; a photograph by Larss & Duclos from June 1, 1898 still shows the shore covered in tents and hulls being built. Navette has the shape of those hulls: a long pointed oval of nugget relief in a fine polished frame, lying along the finger.

Description
  • The slim band widens on top into a long pointed oval of fine nugget relief inside a thin polished rim. It follows the curve of the finger and sits low.
  • 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 workshop makes engagement rings. It casts each nugget ring in your size after you order, from the 3D file I draw, and the certificate gives the metal and the estimated weight.

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.
