Clara was nineteen when Thomas kissed her by the railway bridge and promised to write every week. The war had just begun.
He left for France the next morning with trembling hands and a photograph of her tucked into his breast pocket. She stayed behind—working the post office during the day, reading his letters under blankets at night. He wrote her 42 letters. Each one folded in perfect halves. In one, he asked if she still wore his ring on a chain around her neck. She did.
Then the letters stopped. For months, she waited. A little less like herself every day. Until one morning, a final envelope arrived, dated weeks earlier.
Inside: no words. Just the photograph she’d given him and a pressed violet from a field she would never see. Clara never married.
She didn’t need to. Some hearts aren’t broken—they’re just never given away again. She wore his ring until the day she died. Not as a symbol of grief—but of a love so real, it outlived war.
The Clara Ring Made with a wide 9k solid gold band and glowing Citrine gemstone. Approximately size 7.

Our Materials
Gold Filled is a system of making jewellery that involves bonding 14 or 18k Gold under extreme heat to a base metal (usually silver). Plated jewellery usually only has a thin gold coating painted on, which is why it often tarnishes quickly and wears off. Gold Fill has a 5% level of solid gold and is water resistant, warm gold colour, has no nickel or nasties in, and is long lasting and high quality.
Gold Vermeil is a high quality product with a high proportion of gold. The Industry standard is 2.5 microns, however ours is 3 microns. The manufacturing process is heat & pressure bonding 'melted or fused together' gold with a 925 Sterling Silver base.
It’s an expensive process simply due to the weight of the gold. Great quality gold vermeil will last you years with the appropriate care!
Our Sterling Silver pieces are made with 925 purity silver by silversmiths in India.
Can I swim and shower in your jewellery?
Showering is perfectly fine!
Chlorine and salt are corrosive chemicals though and so they will limit the life of your jewels with prolonged exposure. Rinse them in clear water after an ocean dunk and keep them away from retinol and sunscreens - that’s only good for your face 😉 - Careful handling will keep you and your jewels golden!
