Throughout the ages, the Sun and the Moon have been used as symbols of the masculine and feminine principles as an expression of polarity. They have been mystically represented as deities, or as a Solar King and a Lunar Queen.
The Vesta Ring in tumbled 18K Gold Vermeil has three delicate Sapphires that guide us with their wisdom and bring the energy of the Sun and Moon into our daily practices.
Blue Sapphire is a precious gemstone associated with wisdom, knowledge and insight. Considered sacred across many cultures, its celestial blue hues mirror the night sky. Forever associated with loyalty and commitment, sapphires are traditionally used as an expression of love and devotion.
The moon embodies feminine energy, nurturing intuition and emotion. Symbolic of life's cyclical nature, it waxes and wanes signifying change and transformation. A light in the darkness, it offers guidance, wisdom and hope.
To maintain the lustre of your 18K gold vermeil jewellery, rinse in cold water and gently pat dry with a soft 100% lint-free cotton or microfibre cloth. Avoid drying with tissue or paper towels as this will scratch the gold.
Remove gemstone jewellery before engaging in activities that may cause damage and avoid wearing with clothes that have loose threads or abrasive textures, to prevent snagging. Gemstone jewellery can be gently scrubbed with a soft-bristled or baby-sized toothbrush coated in warm, soapy water to dislodge any dirt.
CARE: Temple of the Sun rings are some of our favourite pieces, and being on our hands exposes them to the most wear and tear. To ensure the gold lustre remains golden and bright it is important to remove your rings each time we hand sanitise, apply makeup, cosmetics, shower, swim and even cook. Gold vermeil, like all non-solid gold, is designed to fade over time so our beloved rings need the most attention and care out of all.
