20K YELLOW CALIFORNIA GOLD

The 20K yellow California gold we use is responsibly-mined in Yuba and Nevada counties in Northern California - in part by us on a family claim in the Yuba River and a local mine we are partners in, as well as from nearby partners that we have worked with for years. Since we are directly involved from mining to making, you get an unequivocal level of transparency of exactly how and where your piece was made. High in gold purity, our proprietary 20K alloy offers an organic greenish-gold coloring that is characteristic of raw California placer gold and unique compared to the orangey hue of 14K and purer yellow tone of 22K. The physical softness of this higher karat gold means the piece will take on nicks and scratches overtime, but by nature and our process—is made for everyday long-term wear. The marks made become a beautiful patina reflective of your personal life and story.

PLATINUM, 14K ROSE GOLD AND 14K WHITE GOLD

We are glad to make this style in platinum, 14K rose gold or 14k white gold. Please note that these versions are not made from California-mined gold and therefore will not be marked with the grizzly bear hallmark, but they are still handcrafted by us in California!

  • Engraving is available for +$150. A pop-up inviting you to provide engraving text and font preference will appear when you click "Add to Cart".

    Please note that there are no exchanges or returns on engraved/customized jewelry. Book a virtual or in-person appointment to explore other customizations such as a high-polished finish, addition of stones or having this item made in silver or another karat of gold.

  • As with any handmade product, there will be variability piece to piece. Our photos and videos are highly representative of what you will receive, but technically each piece is one-of-a-kind!

  • Please allow 3-4 weeks for us to handcraft your ring. If you need it sooner, please call or email us and we will do our best to accommodate you! All online orders qualify for free shipping, with insurance and signature required.

    We ask that you make every effort to size your finger appropriately ahead of ordering. However, we understand that this may be your first time wearing a ring and getting it right can be tricky. We offer 1 free re-size on this product, subject to the terms of our 15-day return/exchange policy for unworn and undamaged goods (does not apply to engraved/customized versions and shipping not included).
