For the woman who makes ordinary moments unforgettable
Some rings tell a story before you even put them on. The Rita Ring is for the woman who dances barefoot in the kitchen, who turns heads without trying, who makes life feel like a movie. She was truly free spirited and one of a kind. With movie magic in her soul, she caught the eye of everyone she met, her co star in particular.
Crafted from a wide 9ct solid gold band that feels substantial yet effortless, it's crowned with a warm, glowing Citrine gemstone that catches the light like bottled sunshine.

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!
