The story of Riverbed

The River

The heaviest gold sinks to the bottom, among the stones of the riverbed.

The heaviest gold does not stay on the banks; it sinks to the bottom, among the stones of the bed. In the 1850s, miners in the Sierra Nevada dammed and diverted rivers to work the dry bed. A dry bed can still give up gold: in 1995, near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, a prospector whose name was never published found a nugget of about 56 pounds in a dry creek bed. That nugget, the Normandy, is now on show at the Perth Mint. Riverbed carries large, rounded plates, like stones smoothed by the current.

Description
  • Large, softly rounded nugget plates cover the top and sides of a band about 11 mm wide on top. The band narrows underneath, where it is plain and polished.
  • Part of The River: textured all the way round the band. See the collection

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.
