5 out of 5 starsThis is such a stunning ring. I absolutely love it. Really unique and comfortable to wear. I can't express how very pleased I am - great value for money. Love, love, love, love :0) So sad I lost this on a Jet flight to Delhi. If anyone happens to see someone wearing it - please get it back for me x :0(

The whole truth about the Golden Plague
The Golden Plague is a viral disease that affects the human emotional system and has serious consequences for its victims.
The most infamous symptom of the Golden Plague is an increasing addiction to looking at mirrors, taking selfies and feeling pretty good.
Its alleged patient zero is Áurea Praga, a Portuguese jewelry maker and illustrator that started spreading the virus through her jewelry pieces in 2009.
The virus was thus named “Golden Plague”, the literal translation from the Portuguese name “Áurea Praga”.
The disease agent is transferred directly and immediately by touching any of the previously mentioned jewelry pieces, feeling its fine texture and pleasant weight. The symptoms are aggravated by using the jewels in your body on a regular basis.
The first proof of a spread of infection was in Belgium on November 13, 2009.
Soon there would be other confirmed cases in the US, United Kingdom and Canada which showed disturbing side effects including immediate manifestations of well being and joyful behavior:
- “The coolest!!! Totally fun! My new lucky charm, Thank You!” (Belgium, December 10, 2009)
- “I have been loving this ring online for long time and it is even more beautiful on my finger, Many compliments Aurea” (Italy, October 7, 2012)
- “the most gorgeous rings i have ever owned! and excellent service from Aurea! I am very very happy” (South Africa, April 4, 2014)
ATTENTION –If you’re infected with the Golden Plague and take the disease to your country, you may be contributing for a pandemic.

Shipping
This means I don't have them on stock and I start making them when someone makes an order.
For making an order with a different size or colour, please contact me.
All shippings are registered, I'll send you the registration code in the notification mail if you would like to track it. International shippings usually arrive in 10 to 15 working days, but it can take longer. The registration keeps them from being lost. So, if for some reason it doesn't arrive to your adress, sooner or later it will arrive back to mine. And if that happens, I'll let you know, of course :)
Additional policies and FAQs
I'll make a reserved listing for you on my shop and It usually takes some time to have a custom size finished, but it's the same price.
