Fairly made, fairly priced
A tablet of gold, shaped by rushing water over millennia, inscribed with ἀεί: the ancient Greek word for eternal, forever, always.
This necklace is imbued with an awareness of that which is eternal. Like a stone that has sat in the riverbed for hundreds of years, the tenacity and hope of humankind extends long before and well after our individual lives. This talisman is to be worn as a secret reminder that this too shall pass.
When all seems hopeless, allow it to wash over you and drain away, like water rushing over stones. It is not your experiences that shape who you are, but how you receive them.
The poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning owned a ring with AEI inscribed upon it, which her husband Robert Browning wore on his watch chain after her untimely death.

About Solid Gold ✨
Solid gold is for those who buy once and buy well. It will not tarnish, fade, or degrade; worn daily for decades, it only grows more beautiful. It is the right choice if you want a piece that lasts a lifetime or becomes an heirloom.
Gold has appreciated steadily for centuries and retains intrinsic value: it can always be melted down and reborn as something new. It is adornment that is also an investment.
Our solid gold pieces are cast using the ancient lost wax method and are never hollow. Every gram is 100% certified recycled, and every piece is made by hand in New York City.
About Gold Vermeil
Gold Vermeil, pronounced ver-may, is a french term for a style of gold plating that is regulated by the federal government. Unlike "gold plated" jewelry, vermeil must always be on a solid 925 sterling silver base - rather than brass - with at least 2.5 microns thickness of gold. This is 3 times thicker than normal gold plating.
This makes vermeil a longer lasting product than gold plated jewelry, as well as more valuable because it's composed entirely of precious metals.
