Engrained Memories Ring
A ring of serendipity. This uniquely textured ring was created using salt and sugar, and an ancient technique called Lost Wax Casting.
Allowing the sugar and salt crystals to lead, this stunning piece pretty much conceptualized itself, and as with most organic matter, the free form lines and irregularities make it such a stand out beauty.
Only up close can one really see the depths and contradictions in the surface texture, and how it catches the light and sparkles with all the raised areas polished to a high shine.
The Engrained Memories makes a very special wedding band, unconventional like it's would-be-wearer, it's slender but bold, elegant, and yet holds so much character, daring to be different.
Also see our Engrained and Embedded version, with diamonds sunk into the band and cast in place. This rarely used technique allows the diamonds to sit within the ring without any conventional setting beads or prongs. The metal is literally poured around the stones, so they are encapsulated organically, not breaking the lines of the piece, but adding an unexpected sparkle.
Wear solo, or decorate with some of the skinny stackers. It especially suits the accompaniment of the Halo rings.
Available in our 18kt Rose, 18kt Yellow Gold, 10kt Yellow Gold, and White Gold.

18k Royal Yellow -
Our 18k Royal Yellow is the perfect blend of yellow Gold’s with a warmer hue - less green than some - which is extremely beautiful - rich and refined - on all skin tones.
18k Rose Gold -
Our 18k Rose Gold is the result of an infusion of copper and a touch of silver into our Gold, giving it that warm, rich, earthy quality that makes Rose Gold such a beautiful metal. The silver paling it from the otherwise ‘red gold’, the copper adding a blush. The result is what we call our “dusty rose”. Indeed this just might be our all-time favourite metal blend.
Our Signature 10k Gold -
Our signature 10k Yellow Gold is an unsung hero. An underestimated Gold, this is a beautiful, very strong, pale and creamy gold that shines brilliantly and pops against all skin tones - being naturally less yellow and brassy than the typical 18-24kt Golds.
As the flashy "Kardashian culture" evolved, the higher karat golds became more coveted, but time and time again it's my 10 karat pieces that people notice and fall in love with. It's a beautiful fine metal, strong, classy and unpretentious. We're bringing it back!
Platinum -
Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is much stronger, and therefore used in jewelry in almost a pure form (approximately 95% pure).
Platinum is extremely long wearing and is less grey than the mislabeled white gold, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated like white gold does.
Platinum is very dense (heavy), so a platinum ring will feel heavier than an 18kt gold ring.
White Gold -
We do do white gold on occasion, but are less fickle about the karat. White gold is actually a grey metal, and is almost always Rhodium plated to appear more white. For this reason, we tend to use 14kt White Gold as it is strong and durable.
Ring size is very specific to each individual, so I highly recommend you print out our Ring Sizer for guidance - it is VITAL that you print it out at 100% scale on your printer. Some printers automatically adjust the scale settings, so please be diligent when checking.
The thicker the band, the more snuggly it will fit, so I recommend you size up half a size for anything north of a 5mm wide band.
