Andromeda
Andromeda Ring is made with recycled 925 sterling silver and 24k gold vermeil. Completely handmade and set with a star sapphire.
Andromeda, a captivating figure in Greek mythology, was the exquisite daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiope. She later became the wife of Perseus. Cassiope's pride led her to claim that Andromeda was more beautiful than the Nereids, which angered these sea nymphs. In retaliation, Poseidon sent a sea monster to wreak havoc on Cepheus' kingdom. The gods demanded Andromeda's sacrifice to calm their anger, and she was bound to a rock to be devoured by the creature. Perseus, riding on the winged horse Pegasus, arrived, fell in love with Andromeda, and sought her hand in marriage from Cepheus. With Cepheus' approval, Perseus defeated the monster. Yet, during their wedding celebration, Andromeda's uncle Phineus, who had been initially promised her hand, tried to assert his claim. Perseus used the head of Medusa to transform Phineus into stone, resolving the situation.

CARE
Our vermeil is a layer of fine 24ct gold, plated on top of silver. As this is just a layer it can gradually wear, giving the appearance that it has faded. Every day wear may speed up this process, especially on items like rings and bracelets which have lots of contact knocking against objects. We offer a re-plating service for our vermeil jewelry.
Perfume, sweat, skin and hair products can all react with silver causing it to tarnish, cause vermeil to erode and even damage stones – especially pearls. Always apply your products before putting on your jewellery and leave for a few minutes to be absorbed by the skin. Avoid spraying perfume or hairspray directly onto your jewelry as this can damage it.
