White gold, Diamonds
A lucky charm, the sand dollar is inseparable from the beaches of Assinie. AC by AC renames it Sandola, and it becomes a precious jewel, all curves and sensuality.
Crafted from 18-carat gold and set with carefully selected diamonds and/or precious stones, your AC by AC creation deserves special attention to preserve its brilliance and beauty.
18-carat gold is a precious and noble metal. Although it is durable, it can scratch when in contact with other jewelry or hard surfaces. We recommend that you:
- Store your jewelry in its case, separate from other pieces.
- Avoid repeated impacts and friction.
- Remove your jewelry during sports or manual activities.
Diamonds are among the hardest stones in the world, but they can attract grease and lose their sparkle with daily wear. To preserve their brilliance:
- Avoid contact with perfumes, creams, and cosmetics.
- Gently clean your jewelry using a soft brush, lukewarm water, and mild soap.
- Dry it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
Jewelry is meant to be worn, lived with, and passed down.
Taking care of it preserves the emotion it embodies.
Carved by the ocean that borders the Ivorian coast, the sand dollar is the star of Assinie's beaches in Côte d'Ivoire. Its name - sand dollar, in English, which became SANDOLA for AC by AC - this small fossilized shell owes to the first American explorers who, upon discovering it on the southern seashores, attributed to it a resemblance to a coin. On the shores of Grand-Lahou, a legend tells of a star that fell from the sky to illuminate fishermen lost at sea. Its light guided them to the shore and saved them from a shipwreck. In the morning, the star had landed on the sand and transformed into a starfish. The fishermen then named it the sand dollar, fascinated by its perfectly round shape, light color, and the delicate glow it revealed under the light.
