She was 24, wearing pale blue linen with a lost look in her eye. He was tall, tan, and reading the same book as her. They reached for it at the same time in the ship’s library, that was the beginning.
They were both spoken for. Their partners were on shore. For ten days, they existed between rooms, glances, and the space between "what if" and "just once." They danced under string lights on the top deck, kissed behind lifeboats, and shared every secret except the one that mattered most: this can’t last. When the boat docked for the final time, she walked one way, he walked the other. No promises. Just a look that said everything.
Six months later, a small parcel arrived at her door. Inside: the book they both loved, worn at the edges. And a note in familiar handwriting:
“You were never the wrong time. Just the only time that felt right.” She wore the ring he tucked between the pages until their old age.
The Dorris Ring is crafted in a chunky 9k solid gold band and set with a serene Mid London blue Topaz. 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!
