The first ring. Or the fifth.
The name
Olea is Latin for olive — and the botanical name for the olive tree. The olive is a small, considered fruit; the tree it grows from lives for centuries. A name for the smallest, lowest-priced piece in the collection — the one most likely to be a customer's first Smokey Topaz purchase, and the one she'll still be wearing in twenty years.

The story
Most thin gold bands are made of one thing — gold. Soft, beautiful, and quick to deform under daily wear. Two years in, the band is no longer round. Five years in, the band has worn through.
The Olea Band is built differently. The exterior is solid 14K yellow gold, 1.8mm wide, half-round profile, polished. The interior is a titanium sleeve, bonded to the gold, that holds its shape against typing, washing dishes, lifting weights, every door handle.
The titanium also handles skin contact. Some women cannot wear thin gold bands without a green ring forming after a week — the alloy reacts with skin oils. The titanium interior solves it. The gold you see; the titanium you feel.
It is the lowest-priced piece in the Smokey Topaz catalog because it is engineered to be the first ring you buy from us. Or the fifth one you stack with the Tuesday Ring.
