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.
Let customers speak for us
I am amazed with the quality of the Gelato Huggies, Cupid Bracelet and gold bangle. So pretty and lovely to wear with everything! 🙌
The Balloon Letter necklace is absolutely gorgeous! Thankyou, it's excellent quality and soooo cute 🥰
They're so dainty and beautiful! I wanted to wear them to work, and I'm so glad I got them now. It's nice to have some sparkle at work. They will really help me feel cute and pretty, because they're adorable! 💖✨
When I opened my box of surprises, I was thrilled! Everything is so pretty, and the silver really shines brightly. I'm especially pleased with the silver ring, it shines so much and it's the best ring that I own now. I was so happy I put another order in for some bow earrings, because even these dainty bow earrings look sooo pretty and will go with absolutely everything in my wardrobe. This is the best jewellery I have ever ordered from an online brand. Thankyou for choosing my items, they are gorgeous! I love them so much!
Perfect fit and feels solid. Subtle enough to wear to work unnoticed!
This ring is everything I’ve always needed to subtly or (in some cases) stylishly tell people to F off 😂
Absolutely love this piece, the quality is even better than expected and the colour is bright and gorgeous, I have already had a lot of compliments on it - it’s a good conversation starter ;)
This is such a pretty ring, I love how the green stones make it look like little leaves! I was sceptical about the ring being adjustable and coming off as **** and flimsy, but surprisingly it feels very sturdy and high quality, and I’ve adjusted it to fit a few different fingers and it hasn’t shown any wear or damage.
Absolutely in love with this ring, it has such a luxury feel whilst also being fun and colourful. It feels really well crafted and is of high quality!
So stunning & such a huge stone! Looks amazing on. Great pop of colour.
obsessed with these!! both my sister and I have them in gold and I pretty much haven't taken them out since I bought them - wear them to sleep, shower, throughout the day, and they are super comfy and easy. also love that they are a little thicker, feels like you can really dress them up while also wearing them just day to day. have had them for a few weeks and they're still like new. definitely recommend :))
We bought this as a gift for Mother's Day and are absolutely wrapped with the result. The necklace is great for layering and is the perfect staple piece, mum hasn't taken it off since!
Love the weight of these they feel very grown up but also cute and fun - wear them with shirts and for events easy.
Love my new earrings very stylish , had many positive comments as well ! Would love some other favourites in silver as
well ? Like your multi colour necklaces!
Is your jewellery safe for sensitive skin?
Most allergies come from nickel being present in the metal but our pieces don’t contain any.
Some of our pieces are 18k Gold bonded to stainless steel which carries a very small risk of reaction in rare cases.
Gold Fill has at least a 5% level of 18k gold, unlike plated which can often be only 1% - so the layer is thicker and lasts much longer with careful handling.
Vermeil is our highest quality of gold with a 2.5 micron layer of 14k gold over sterling silver. Zero chance of allergy issues there 🙂
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!

What is Gold Filled/ Gold Vermeil?
Solid Gold is naturally the only gold that can be classed as long lasting, or worthy of being called potential heirloom jewellery - it has the price tag to match, and can still lose its lustre over many years. If you've paid $100 for a bracelet it won't be solid gold and it won't be getting handed down to your grandchildren, anymore than the $100 Zara top will be. That's just the truth though many jewellery brands want you to believe otherwise.
Gold Filled is a system of making jewellery that involves bonding 14 or 18k Gold under extreme heat to a base metal (usually silver or brass). Plated jewellery usually only has a thin 0.5% gold coating electroplated onto a base, which is why it often tarnishes quickly and wears off. Gold Filled has a 5% level of solid gold and is more water resistant, has a warm gold colour, has no nickel or nasties in, and is longer lasting than normal plated and higher quality.
Gold Vermeil is classed as Demi-fine jewellery. It contains totally precious metal (925 Sterling Silver with a 2.5 or 3 micron 14 or 18k Gold layer ‘melted’/bonded to the top) It’s expensive because of the weight of precious metal gold and silver used, and the techniques used to make it.
The colour of gold is determined by two factors:
- The type of metal alloys included
- The percentage of each metal alloy
Natural gold and colour-saturated base alloys are what give yellow gold jewellery its rich shine. The alloys most commonly used, are copper with a red hue, and silver featuring a green hue. An expert mixture of copper, silver and pure gold gives this precious metal its signature warmth.
Gold-filled pieces can still tarnish, but it takes special circumstances for that to happen, like excessive and water based use. Even though it’s an alloy, the thick layer on gold-filled pieces helps prevent tarnishing, because pure gold doesn’t tarnish.
