Sterling & 18ky Periwinkle Sapphire Mooring Bangle
Part of our signature Torrington Bay Collection is our timeless Mooring design. Inspired by the tactful dance of docking a boat - the moment when a rope is cased around a bollard, securing it in place. In this design, the gemstone and its bezel become the bollard, while a sculpted gold lasso wraps and anchors the setting, symbolizing arrival, connection, and permanence.
This piece features a lively natural periwinkle sapphire, warmly encased in an 18k yellow gold bezel setting. The smooth double-band bracelet made of sterling silver is easy to wear, fabulous for stacking, and one-of-a-kind.
Each piece in this collection is hand-fabricated in-house by our team of goldsmiths, using reclaimed Nova Scotian alloys and hand-selected natural gemstones.

Contemporary Era
(1970 - Now)Plastic became a new medium to fabricate jewellery. Other pieces were often made of other unconventional materials such as plastic or wood. Prioritizing self-expression over traditional styles and materials became the new style. Jewellery of this Era was considered “wearable art”.
As we headed into the 1980s, jewellery styles became even more extravagant and large, such as oversized hoop earrings and necklaces which were worn by women in the office with their “power suits”. With women commonly in the workplace now, purchasing jewellery for oneself became increasingly common.
Costume jewellery truly began to take centre stage during the 80s. Neon plastic jewellery was not unusual to see on the younger members of this era- especially in a large statement earring. Another staple of the 80s was cross jewellery, necklaces being the favourite.
Contemporary jewellery is something that will always be in trend, because its something that is “made in current time”.
