1. What kind of metal is used to create Bowman Originals Jewelry?
At Bowman Originals, we exclusively use solid Sterling Silver and solid 18k Gold in all our designs. The white metal is Sterling Silver; the yellow metal is 18k Gold—never plated or filled.

Sterling Silver: .925 fine, meaning 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% pure copper for strength and hypoallergenic quality.
18k Gold: .750 fine, composed of 75% pure gold and a custom blend of pure silver and copper for color stability and skin safety.

Solid Metals: "Solid" means the metal is the same throughout—not plated, bonded, or filled. We do not use any filler or mystery metals, which are often responsible for allergic reactions.

2. Who makes this jewelry? Who designs it?
Every piece is handcrafted by a small team of skilled artisans in Sarasota, Florida—no computers or mass production. As we say: “By Hands Only” and “We’re going backward—and proud of it.”
Ned Bowman, our founder and lead designer, is a national and international DeBeers award-winning jeweler whose vision defines every collection.

3. Are all the stones genuine?
Yes—all stones in our inventory jewelry are 100% genuine. We do not use synthetic, simulated, or substitute stones.

Please Note: Custom orders may include sentimental stones provided by clients, which may not always be natural. Any stones sourced by Bowman Originals are always authentic.

4. What is the inspiration for Bowman Originals Jewelry?
Our designs draw from ancient history, mythology, and cultural anthropology. Each piece carries symbolic meaning—from ancient talismans to modern heirlooms—expressing protection, love, remembrance, and identity through rich symbolism and artisan detail.

5. What is Vitreous Enamel?
Vitreous enamel—also known as hard enamel, hot enamel, or true enamel—is created by fusing finely ground glass to metal at temperatures between 1,400°F and 1,600°F. This ancient technique results in brilliant, permanent color that will not fade, discolor, or wear away, making it ideal for heirloom-quality jewelry.

6. How does Vitreous Enamel differ from other enamels?
Unlike resin enamel, which is made from synthetic polymers and may yellow or scratch, vitreous enamel is fused glass that will not tarnish, crack, or fade. Its durability and brilliance last for generations.

7. What is Patina?
Patina is the natural or intentionally applied surface coloration that forms on metal over time. It adds depth, character, and warmth—transforming polished silver into a richly textured surface that reflects age, wear, and individuality.

8. How does Bowman Originals utilize patina in its jewelry?
We apply patina by oxidizing and hand-polishing each piece to create a high-contrast finish. This darkens recessed areas while allowing raised details to shine. The result is a timeless, personalized look that evolves gently with wear—enhancing the handcrafted beauty of each design.

9. How do I clean my Bowman Originals jewelry?
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Never use strong silver polishes, chemicals, or ultrasonic machines.
Use a Soft Cloth: A dry or slightly damp jewelry cloth removes oils and fingerprints without disturbing the patina.
Store Properly: Keep your jewelry in a dry, soft-lined box or pouch.
Wear It Often: Natural skin oils help maintain the silver's luster.

Need help? We offer professional cleaning and patina restoration at our Sarasota workshop. Each piece is meant to be lived in, loved, and passed down.

10. Is there a warranty or guarantee on the jewelry?
Yes. All Bowman Originals jewelry is backed by a 100% Lifetime Guarantee on Workmanship. We stand proudly behind our craftsmanship and enduring design.

The Pegasus Story: A Jewelry Tribute to Myth, Motion, and Mastery

In every culture, there are symbols that transcend time. The myth of Pegasus, the winged horse born of gods and storm, is one such emblem. A creature of sky and spirit, Pegasus represents freedom, ascension, and divine imagination. At Bowman Originals, this timeless symbol inspired the creation of our Pegasus Necklace and Bracelet—jewelry pieces that embody the power of motion and the poetry of flight.

Born of Myth, Forged by Hand
According to Greek mythology, Pegasus sprang from the blood of Medusa when she was slain by Perseus—rising from the earth with wings wide and hooves light as air. He carried heroes, summoned thunder, and became a constellation in the night sky. This story, rich in movement and transformation, mirrors the heart of our Pegasus designs.

Each link in the Pegasus Collection is handcrafted in Sterling Silver using old-world forging techniques that reflect the strength and fluidity of its namesake. With 5/16 inch (7.5mm) wide links polished to a radiant sheen, the necklace and bracelet feel both bold and ethereal—like Pegasus himself moving between earth and heaven.

Movement You Can Feel
Pegasus wasn’t static—he soared. Our necklace and bracelet are constructed with flexibility in mind. The articulated links are designed to flow with your body’s natural rhythm, offering comfort, balance, and presence. Whether worn solo or layered, these pieces adapt effortlessly, echoing the motion of wings in flight.

Wearable Mythology
This collection isn’t just jewelry—it’s storytelling made tangible. Designed for both men and women, the Pegasus Necklace and Bracelet celebrate inner strength, elegance, and the courage to rise. They’re perfect companions for those who walk their own path, dream beyond limits, and live with intention.

Crafted in Sarasota, Florida, by DeBeers national and international award-winning jeweler Ned Bowman, every piece in this collection is hallmarked BOWMAN, STER, USA and backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. These aren’t just accessories—they’re heirlooms imbued with meaning.

A Personal Constellation
To wear Pegasus is to carry a piece of the sky—bold, free, and destined to leave a mark. Whether gifted to honor a milestone or chosen as a personal talisman, the Pegasus Collection invites you to rise above the ordinary and soar into your own legend.
