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 Pamela
My great aunt Carmen was born in a different era, but she lived to be a significant influence in my life.
Born in New York City, attending Nightingale, and graduating from Bryn Mawr in 1934, she was raised in a tiny society of privilege, but always cut her own path.
Her ideas for daily life: equality for women, daily exercise, education, and an intimate relationship with nature, even though they are commonplace today, were way ahead of her time. I still find her rules for living refreshingly modern.
Carmen moved to Key Biscayne in 1986, and lived 3 blocks away from me for the rest of her life. Even as she approached 100, she continued her daily walks around the island. They appeared out of place then, but the white cotton gloves and broad hats she wore to protect her fair skin now seem perfect.
In Spanish we call this style of hat a Pamela, a forgotten detail of the elegant garden parties of the last century. I hope this ring helps us remember the beauty we have lost.
My Favorite Parts of this Ring
I love the way this ring feels when you slide it on your finger. It is a sensual experience that is worth closing your eyes for, and there is nothing better than looking down and seeing this beauty on your hand.
With a raised and rhythmic setting, the primary faceted stone has a closed back, and a richness that feels very elegant. I stole the nub details from my Sea Urchin Ring for the face, and lined the edges with two subtle but framing sets of alternating stones.
This ring is complex, and I am still getting to know it. I am pretty sure you will enjoy getting to know it too.
Yachtie Minds Matter
Sometimes it is necessary for us to speak up for those who are afraid to speak, and to create a safe space for those that do not feel safe.
Through Yachtie Minds Matter (www.yachtiemindsmatter.org), Captain Kelly Gordon is speaking up and creating a safe space for those that need it, and selflessly leading the change she would like to see in the yachting community.
Mental well-being is fundamental to all of us, and needs our support. In support of her pioneering work in mental health for crew members, I am proudly donating 15% of the sales of my Sea Urchin Collection directly to her charity.

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.
