Men's Raw Citrine Boss Ring
$795.00 - $895.00
Our iconic Boss Ring is just that; conceived not just as an accessory, but as a partner in crime to wear with intention. Sculptural in design and textured with nature, the hand-etched setting honors each gem rock as a statement piece to empower your world.
- Large citrine gem rock, around 1” (2.5cm) wide
- Sterling silver or 18K gold vermeil setting, hand-stamped with palm tree insignia
Each stone has been set in its natural form, so no two pieces are identical as stones vary in shape, size and tone. This is what makes every Boss Ring one-of-a-kind.
Our Gemstones
Ethically unearthed in the ancient paradise of Sri Lanka, our natural semi-precious gemstones are among the world’s most legendary; potent with the earth’s energy having formed over millions of years.
Sri Lanka’s gems are ethically unearthed within a gentle Buddhist approach to gemming which has shaped a truly sustainable industry.
Unaltered by the art of gem cutting, our organic stones possess pure natural beauty that is raw, unrefined and one-of-a-kind – as nature intended.
GEM POWERS
Beyond its rare allure, each gemstone bears a magical fingerprint with the ability to touch the life of its wearer.
Natural gemstones are believed to emanate more powerful energy due to their ‘untouched’ natural state; and our raw stone designs emphasize stone-to-skin contact for amplified energetic effect.
One gemstone alone may bring about positive change to the mind, body and soul. It may uplift your mood, soothe your spirit, resolve old issues, and open new doors.
The power of one stone is amplified by the combined energies of others. Together, they can help you find your edge, activate your dreams and illuminate your path.
Hand Craftsmanship
The entire production of your piece is performed sustainably and by hand, using traditional artisan techniques that have been passed down for centuries.
Our stones are individually hand-selected for each design, as natural raw stones cannot be sourced in calibrated (same size) sizes. This also means that common jewelry manufacturing processes like ‘casting’ are not possible, so each piece is made entirely from scratch to honor the selected stone/s. In the absence of laser engraving, each piece (unless too small), is individually hand-stamped with our tiny palm tree insignia.
Once completed, jewels are shipped to our headquarters in NYC, where any finishing and 18K gold vermeil coating finish is performed by a second team of talented artisans in the famed Diamond District
What is Gold Vermeil?
Gold Vermeil (pronounced ver-may), is a very specific premium gold finish comprising an extra thick layer of gold over high quality Sterling Silver.
How is Lassanai Vermeil superior to other brands?
Our Vermeil coating is almost twice as thick as the industry norm. Vermeil thickness is measured in microns. To legally qualify as Vermeil, 2.5 microns is required (and offered by most brands), but ours is 4 microns which is the highest quality available. We use an 18 karat gold for its warm golden color and renowned durability. Our lovely, thick Vermeil coating combined with the 18K gold gives each piece a superior longevity.
Why Vermeil?
With good quality Vermeil comes the opportunity to wear stunning gold pieces, at a fraction of what a solid 18K gold piece would cost. In the event that the Vermeil wears off which can happen over time, it’s simply a matter of refinishing the piece which we can arrange for you here in NYC.
Is Vermeil the same as gold-plated
jewelry?
Gold Vermeil is NOT the same as gold-plated jewelry. The main differences between Gold Vermeil and gold-plated jewelry are the thickness of the gold plating and the base metal used. Gold-plated jewelry has plating at least 0.5 microns thick (5x less than standard Gold Vermeil).
At 4 microns, our Vermeil finish is 16 x thicker than most gold plating. Gold plating also does not require a Sterling Silver base; and usually uses inexpensive materials, such as copper or brass as its core metal. Since the layer of gold is so thin, the gold plating tends to wear off very quickly, which can cause the jewelry to degrade at a faster speed.
Is Vermeil real gold?
Yes - Gold Vermeil is real gold! The main difference between Gold Vermeil and solid gold is that Vermeil uses a Sterling Silver base metal whereas the latter, as the name suggests, is made of just that…gold! After solid gold, Gold Vermeil is the highest quality type of gold tone jewelry that you can buy. It is a great option for those who are seeking an affordable and high quality alternative to solid gold jewelry.
