Sterling & 18ky Red Spinel Mooring Ring
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 rich natural red spinel, warmly encased in an 18k yellow gold bezel setting. The smooth double-band shank made of sterling silver is comfortable, chic, and classic wear.
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)Unconventional materials such as plastic and wood became the new medium of fabricating jewellery. Further, prioritizing self-expression over traditional styles and materials became increasingly popular. Jewellery of the Contemporary Era was labelled as “wearable art”.
As we headed into the 1980s, jewellery styles became even more extravagant, with women donning oversized hoop earrings and chunky necklaces. As it became more common to see women in the workplace, the demand for purchasing "work wear" jewellery increased as well.
Costume jewellery truly began to take center stage during the 80s. With maximalism in full force, plastic jewellery was bright, eye-catching, and a cost-effective way to express individuality.
Contemporary jewellery is something that will always be in style, because its something that is “made in current time”.
