Spring Carnival Gemstone Ring: Exciting Update + A Solid Gold News
Beloved Collectors,
I have updates! Good ones. And I couldn't wait to share them with you.
When I revealed the Spring Carnival Gemstone Ring a few weeks ago, I had no doubt y'all would love it. What I didn't fully anticipate was how many of you would reach out asking the same question: Can I have this in solid gold?

The volume of those inquiries genuinely stopped me in my tracks. And my answer to every single one of you is: yes. Absolutely yes. I'm so excited to make this official.

Solid Gold Options Now Available — and I Am Thrilled
The response to this ring has reminded me why I do what I do. So many of you looked at this design and immediately thought about longevity — about a piece that will last not just years, but generations. That's exactly the spirit this ring was made in. And solid gold is exactly how it deserves to be worn, if that's the investment you want to make.
And yes — gold prices have punched a new hole in the ozone layer on their way up. We see it. We acknowledge it. And clearly, so many of you decided that this ring is worth it anyway. That means everything to me.

Why This Ring Keeps Growing on Me
The original Carnival Gemstone Ring went viral last year and brought so many new faces into this community — from states and countries I'm still discovering when packages ship. That didn't happen by accident. It happened because the ring carries something real.
This spring version takes that energy further. The emerald-cut citrine, peridot, and amethyst are some of the most beautiful stones I've worked with — high grade, high clarity, with that luminous lightness that makes them look like they're lit from within. Citrine for warmth and optimism. Peridot, one of the oldest gemstones known to humanity, for renewal and growth. Amethyst, revered since ancient Egypt, for clarity and protection.
Together, in sterling silver, 18k gold vermeil, or solid gold — this ring is something I'm deeply proud of. I believe it will be one of the most iconic designs I ever put my name on. And it's being worn all over the world, which still gives me chills every single time.
With so much love and excitement,
Cristy
