SUN & SELENE was created by Brittanny DeRaffele and is based in Richmond, Virginia. She was born in Texas, but because she is from a Caribbean lineage, the Virgin Islands are in her blood and continue to draw her to the beauty of the ocean, the sun, and the tropics.

Brittanny started her first semi-collection of pieces with a vision of classic goddesses and the stories surrounding them; designed for modern day. The idea of an ancient people being adorned with jewelry crafted of metal and gemstones, long before the conveniences of modern tools, has always fascinated and inspired her design process. With a degree from Radford University (2010) in fashion merchandising and design, along with a minor in studio art and metalsmithing, she knew it was a natural progression after college to merge the two into a career.

 SELENE, the goddess and ancient personification of the moon, was the inspiration for the first ring in the collection that started this journey and sparked the evolution of the current line.

In January 2017, the full renaissance of the brand was complete and SUN & SELENE was born. 

Carefully hand fabricated, hammered, polished, and finished; each piece that comes out of the studio is crafted by hand in small batches using recycled metals and natural gemstones.

APHRODITE was the beautiful sea goddess of love and passion. when she was wrapped in her magic golden girdle, it made her even more irresistible. favorite wrap ring with a polished hammer detail. handcrafted in 14kt gold fill and .935 silver. nickel free. we recommend sizing up by 0.5 for the Aphrodite ring. due to its taller and wider design, it may fit more snug than standard rings.
