Celia
Named after Long Celia.
Long Celia is a significant, though tragic, figure in the history of the Cayman Islands, remembered for the harsh punishment she endured in 1820. She was put on trial and publicly punished with fifty lashes after being found guilty of supposedly inciting a revolution. This brutal punishment highlights the severe oppression faced by the enslaved population in the Cayman Islands during that time.
Long Celia's story draws attention to the broader struggles and injustices suffered by the enslaved people in the Cayman Islands, reflecting the harsh realities of their lives and the brutal measures used to suppress any resistance or call for freedom. Her experience is a stark reminder of the cruelty of the slavery era and the lengths to which the system went to maintain control and prevent any form of uprising.
Today, her story serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and resistance of the enslaved people and underscores the importance of acknowledging and confronting this painful chapter in the Cayman Islands' history.
1. **Durability**: Stainless steel is highly durable, corrosion-resistant, and strong, making it an excellent base material for jewelry.
2. **PVD Gold Plating**: The 18K PVD gold plating process bonds gold to the stainless steel at a molecular level. This method ensures that the gold color is long-lasting and resistant to tarnishing, fading, and scratches. The PVD process creates a coating that is more durable than traditional gold plating techniques.
3. **Waterproof**: Since the jewelry is made from stainless steel, it is resistant to water and can be worn while swimming or showering without rusting or corroding.
Overall, this combination results in jewelry that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly durable, ensuring it maintains its appearance for several years with proper care.
