The Sovereign

A strong, refined statement ring featuring a cushion-cut, responsibly grown Colombian emerald cabochon. No sharp facets or prongs to snag your blazer sleeve, just a delicious gumdrop of bright green held securely by a cup of 18k yellow gold. 

Officially released in 2021, The Sovereign is our dream solitaire ring. Instead of prongs or a hollow-backed bezel holding the stone, we created a softened square cup of gold — solid underneath — that securely cradles the cushion-cut cabochon. Most rings of a similar design are fabricated (i.e. constructed from bent sheets of metal and solder), but for The Sovereign (and all of our rings) we use the lost wax casting method. This allows for more gold volume, substantial bezel walls, and a strength, density, and softness that is not possible otherwise.

We also designed The Sovereign's band to seamlessly connect with the underside of the bezel, so it feels buttery as it glides over the knuckle. 

Pairs well with the Essential Band or the Dominus Band (each sold separately). 

Sizing Note: With a substantial and solid gold bezel (four sides and a full gold base), The Sovereign carries its weight on top and will tend to lean side to side if a liberal size is chosen. Consider erring on the slightly "snug" side.

Gold Finish

All pieces leave our studio with a high polish. We do not pre-age the gold, we leave that process to you. The photos on our website and Instagram show varying degrees of patina and wear, and you can expect your piece to acquire that same glow after a bit of wear. The warmth and softness will deepen over time to become truly yours.
