Because we make each ring to your exact size, ordering the correct size is important. We recommend you stop at a local jeweler and get the exact size – for a wide band ring. If this is not possible, we’ll be happy to send you a ring sizer. Please note that we can make 1/2 and 1/4 sizes.
We offer our rings in Sterling Silver, 10K, 14K and 18K yellow, white and rose gold.
No. Because personalized engraving voids our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Once you receive the ring and are pleased with it, we suggest you take it to a local jeweler with an “engraving machine”. The machines are generally more accurate, less expensive and faster than someone doing it by hand.
Yes. For those of you who want something with a little more sparkle, we are happy to inset VS1 quality diamonds, rubies, sapphires or just about any precious stone. They look particularly good along both sides at the top of each shank. Just tell us where you want them.

The original ring design begins as a sketch on paper. Then it is painstakingly hand-carved out of a single piece of wax. With surgical precision and careful attention to detail, every feather, shield, and shape is intricately hand-carved into a three-dimensional model. Some took weeks to complete.
After the wax model is completed, it is enclosed in a mold that is fired in a furnace that vaporizes the wax. Molten metal is then poured into the mold’s cavity using centrifugal force. The metal, when carefully cooled, perfectly reproduces the hand-carved wax model – thus called the “ancient art of lost wax carving”. A mold is then made from this metal model to cast single or multiple editions of the ring in sterling silver or gold. After the ring is cast to our customer’s exact size and specifications, it is polished by hand and stamped with “USA” and the 10K, 14K or 18K gold or Sterling Silver marking.
All of our designs are original and copyrighted and registered in the US Library of Congress. We use only the finest precious metals. We do not use any solder, screws or glue commonly found with the other emblematic rings on the market. We manufacture our jewelry collection in Chicago, Illinois on Jewelers Row.
Pure gold is too soft to withstand everyday wear, so it is alloyed with a mixture of metals like silver, copper, nickel, and zinc to add strength and durability. ‘K’, or karat, or karatage indicates the purity of the gold, or how much metal in a piece is gold. Karats are expressed in 24th’s, making 24 karat gold 100% gold. The color of gold is determined by the type of metal alloys included in it and the percentage of each metal alloy. 18K gold contains more precious metal than 14K gold. It is composed of 75% gold, which is alloyed with other metals to make it strong enough to withstand everyday wear. 14K gold is composed of 58.3% gold, 41.7% other metals give it strength, its color is not as rich as 18K gold. 14K gold is most commonly found in cases where strength is more important. 10K gold has 41.7% gold with an alloy mix of 58.3%. It is the legal karat limit content for gold in the United States.
Sterling silver tarnishes and easily dulls when exposed to salty air and products containing sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, bleach, and certain papers. Wearing your ring often is the best way to prevent tarnish but we suggest a non-abrasive silver polish to brighten it.
Prices are subject to change due to fluctuations from international gold and silver markets.
