Ampersand Studs

The inspiring ampersand: a reminder of limitlessness & unity & connection to the world around you. Because it doesn’t have to be either/or. It can always be and.

 

Created in collaboration with Darling: the first magazine to not retouch women’s bodies. Since their first print in 2012, they’ve blossomed into an empowering clothier and inspiring collective that fosters deeper conversations around wellness, champions the power of the written word and inspires us all to enrich our minds and souls alike.

Ease of care: 5/5

More premium than traditional gold plating, vermeil is an extra thick layer of real gold over solid sterling silver. We use 14k or 18k gold depending on the piece.

10k Solid Gold
10k Solid Gold
Ease of care: 5/5

More durable, scratch-resistant and affordable than its 14k counterpart, 10k solid gold offers a softer, subtler tone—ideal for those who prefer a less intense yellow.

    And not or

    You need these AND whatever else in your cart, duh. But seriously: Obsessed with pairing these with my leaflet studs and my little Pride & Prejudice (2005) loving heart is geeking out with my lil bit of literary I can carry with me everywhere.
