The story of Off-Center

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

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

The Lode nugget collection: rings in polished 14K gold or sterling silver, crossed by one run of nugget relief the way a vein crosses stone, many of them organic nugget rings. Lode gold is still in the rock, in veins, along faults, where it shows at the surface.
