My Guarantee
Do you believe in value? I do. A beautiful piece of jewelry that is exquisitely crafted from noble materials has an intrinsic value, and I believe in ours.
The value of a Pharaoun design is real and timeless.
If for any reason you would like to return your Pharaoun piece to me, just ask, and I will purchase it from you for the full original purchase price, no questions asked.
That’s My Guarantee - Sergio.
Craftsmanship & Materials
Each Pharaoun piece is designed by me, Sergio, and handmade in my workshop of sterling silver with manmade cubic zirconia stones. My yellow gold, pink gold, and black rhodium pieces are additionally plated in 22 karat yellow gold, 18 karat rose gold, and black rhodium respectively.
If you have any additional questions about my design or creation process, please contact me directly here:

The Story of Herculaneum
My sister studied art in Rome and Florence, and the classical world has always been a huge inspiration for both of us.
This ring reminds me of a volcano, just like the one that covered Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79 AD with its lava and gave us a window into the past. The destructive power of Mt. Vesuvius’ eruption magically preserved the supreme beauty of a world that is mostly forgotten, and reaffirms that the ancients were just like us.
I am a student of the past and revel on the shoulders of giants. Every time I study the grace, beauty, and taste of the ancient world, I feel a bond with the men and women of countless generations before us.
Their lives were more like ours than we remember, and I hope this ring reminds you of what we have in common not only with our ancestors, but also our own generation, and those yet to come.
My Favorite Parts of this Ring
I find this ring totally regal. It is a real stunner, and as I like to say, you can “dance with the Russians, and not feel under-dressed”. If you are looking for a formal and elegant ring for a special day or night, this ring might be the one for you.
One of my favorite parts of this ring is the combination of the stone cut and its setting. The particularly brilliant cut of this stone, when mounted with a closed-back, brings out a richness and depth of color that is mesmerizing. I hope it enchants you as well.

To Honor Sarah
I lost my wife Sarah to metastatic breast cancer in 2017, and I created Pharaoun to honor her memory by honoring the women in my life.
Sarah taught me about joy, romantic love, and how wonderful our relationships with our children can be. She taught me so much, and I’m still learning from her. One of her biggest lessons inspired the Pink Key Society.
Sarah’s natural elegance, her smile, and her love of people and life was contagious. She made everyone feel incredible, loved, and happy. I am so blessed that she was my partner for ten years, and she is a large part of my heart.
She is the woman that inspires every design, and I dedicate Pharaoun to her.
Your Pharaoun should remind you of your favorite version of yourself.
"What I find is that in the chaos of every day, women forget themselves, their strength, their beauty, and their independence.
I want my designs to inspire women to be their favorite version of themselves, and that starts with you honoring yourself."
- Sergio Andrés Mendoza, Designer

Sergio Andrés' Personal Style
Jewelry has always been a part of my life, but it wasn’t until my wife died from metastatic breast cancer that I started designing for the women in my life.
It has been an amazing ride. I have met thousands of women, and created a mission, for women to see themselves the way I see them, to create a world where they honor themselves. My specialty has become cocktail rings, statement pieces that a woman chooses for herself, that I hope remind her of her favorite version of herself.
At the same time, I have always purchased vintage jewelry, both brooches and cufflinks, and I soon found myself adapting my designs to the types of pieces that I would like to wear myself.
Every Woman Should Know Her Ring Size
Unsure of your ring size? It can be difficult, especially because a cocktail ring can be worn on any finger.
I created a ring sizer to help, and would be happy to send you one.
