The story of Oval

The Claim

In the 1850s, California miners had their portraits taken with a gold pan in hand and sent them home.

The gold pan is a shallow sheet-iron dish with sloping sides and a flat bottom, 10 to 16 inches across. There were no plastic pans until the late 20th century: the pans of the rush were black and rusted at the seams. Oval is the largest face in the family: an oval of nugget plates on smooth shoulders that taper into a plain polished band, like a full pan seen from above.

Description
  • An oval face of nugget plates sits on smooth shoulders. The shoulders taper into a plain polished band.
  • Part of The Claim: a face of nugget plates on plain shoulders. See the collection

The workshop

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.
