From the depths of the water to the highest mountain peak. Celebrate the mystery of the deep. Take a pearl as symbol of transformation and acceptance of the fact that we may not know all the mysteries of the world, but if we keep one foot in front of the other, we’ll transform ourselves into something beautiful.

A pearl is nothing but a piece of GRIT in the shell of an oyster. The more grit you have, the more pearls you have. We have but to make it that long in our lives. Live free but live smart. Protect your heart.

*Available in Sterling Silver, 18K Gold. Plans for Platinum or Palladium White Gold in the future.

**Because of the nature of a solid ring, there is surface area underneath the band that makes contact with the skin. It’s best to take it off when washing hands, or swimming. This goes for any solid ring. The reason being that moisture can can stuck under the band and you can get a rash. Many people confuse this with a metal allergy. It can be 24K Gold, Sterling Silver, Brass, Copper, whatever, and it will form a rash if moisture is allowed to sit under that band.

That being said, I wear mine sometimes for weeks without taking them off. I wore one of my pieces in the shower, pool, lakes, and rivers for 2 years without any issues. Still it’s best to let the skin breathe.

***Finally, these pieces are handmade to order by me in Taos, NM. I do not have 1000 units sitting around in different sizes fresh off a boat from China. Please be aware of your size. A resize in a ring like this MEANS A COMPLETE REBUILD. Always feel free to send me a photo of your hand and the size you prefer to @sanctuary_city_rings to make sure we nail the size.

Lets have a conversation about it!

Thank you for your interest in heart, soul and design.
