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 Sand Dollar
I have been blessed to live in front of the ocean, and one of my greatest joys has been to explore the undersea world with my daughter Anaïs. We snorkel after school, on the ocean-side of Key Biscayne, and I never imagined she would love spending time with her head under water as much as me.
On any given day we can catch lobster, fish for our fish tank, or find one of the ocean's many gems. I still can't believe she loves gliding across the sea grass as much as I do.
As we swim above the sea grass, I have taught her to look out for gems, abandoned conch shells, colorful sea urchins, and sea biscuits, the slightly plumper cousin of the sand dollar.
As we share time snorkeling together, I can only smile when I think about how much jewelry and undersea life she has seen at such a young age.
My Favorite Parts of this Design
I don't usually design anything flat, as I think volume is so important, but the silhouette of the arrowhead sand dollar (my favorite sand dollar species) was too enchanting for me to let it go.
When you combine the five inlets and the peeking keyhole with the glorious flower found on all sand dollars and their close cousins the sea biscuits, I had all the inspiration I needed.
I covered the face of my sand dollars with granulation, and you can almost feel the tiny spines that cover this animal when it is alive. In gold and silver, these granulations dance in the light as your sand dollar hangs from your neck.
I hope you find gems and see the hidden flower as you glide through life with your loved ones.

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.
