August's birth flowers, hand-stamped one strike at a time into a tall cigar band, the poppy and the gladiolus, with a run of texture worked in between them. Every stamp is placed by hand, so the depth and spacing carry the mark of being made rather than pressed out of a machine.
The band stands 4mm tall, which gives it real presence on the finger without any stone to catch on things. Available in 14k gold filled or sterling silver, so it sits with whatever metal you already wear.
Created to be timeless and trendless. The height is what makes it a stacker, slot it between our crystal rings and it does the work of both spacing and structure, holding the stack together and giving the eye somewhere to rest. It's just as good on its own as a clean everyday band.
Sizes 4 through 11. If you need a half size, or even a quarter size, just request it in the notes with your order and we'll be happy to accommodate and make it for you.
You don't have to be an August baby to wear it. If you just like a flower motif, this is a flower motif. Other flowers in the collection include orchid, lily, and rose, and we're happy to take on a unique flower combination, just leave a note at checkout and we'll build it.

14k Gold Filled
Gold filled is not plating. A thick layer of solid 14k gold is bonded to a jeweler's brass core under heat and pressure, so the piece carries about 100 times more gold than a thin flash plate. That is why it holds its color through daily wear instead of rubbing thin at the edges.
925 Sterling Silver
Solid sterling, bright and cool against the skin. I also offer an oxidized finish, a soft blackened patina that deepens the look of a stack and sits beautifully next to your gold pieces.
Signature Crystals
This is the part I also make by hand. Semi-precious gemstones, real dried botanicals, and Swarovski crystals, arranged one at a time and sealed under UV stable resin that stays glass-clear rather than yellowing. Because the elements are natural, no two are ever exactly alike.
Made in My Florida Studio
I make every piece to order in my studio here in Florida. Small differences in flower placement, stone color, or the depth of a crystal are part of the design, not a flaw.
Made for Sensitive Ears and Skin
My fashion studs use surgical steel posts and backs, chosen for ears that react to almost everything else.
Artisan Frames (Pendants and Earrings)
The statement frames are lead free and nickel free brass, finished with a heavy gold plate for a rich, high-shine luster.

Gold filled, vermeil, plated: what's the difference?
It all comes down to how much real gold you're wearing.
Gold plated
A thin film of gold over brass or copper. It can wear through with everyday wear.
Gold vermeil
Gold over sterling silver, at least 2.5 microns thick. Better than plating, still a coating.
14k gold filledWhat you get
A thick layer of solid 14k gold bonded to a brass core. About 100 times more gold than plating, so it holds its color through daily wear.
Gold layers enlarged so you can see the difference.
