Ophelia played piano in a hotel lobby—soft jazz that sounded like longing. Travelers came and went, but she stayed, her music like a warm evening kept just for two. One man listened each night from the same velvet chair, never approaching, just listening. When he finally spoke, it was not to compliment her playing—but to ask her name. She realised then that some loves begin not with fireworks, but with exquisite attention.The Ophelia Ring is the kind of piece you don't stumble upon twice. Crafted in rich 9ct solid gold with a deep red garnet that catches candlelight like a secret, this vintage beauty carries the romance of another era—and the promise of becoming part of yours.
Wide, substantial, and utterly captivating, this ring feels like it was made for someone who understands that true luxury isn't loud—it's exquisite attention to detail.
Why this ring is extraordinary:
- One-of-a-kind vintage piece – When it's gone, it's gone. No reproductions, no waiting lists.
- Solid 9ct gold – Not plated. Not vermeil. The real thing, built to last generations.
- Deep red garnet gemstone – Rich, warm, and endlessly elegant. A stone of passion and grounded energy.

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!
