Named after Mrs Ellery Miller.

In the historical context of the Cayman Islands, when many men were absent, often due to their involvement in seafaring or work abroad, Caymanian women stepped up to take on critical roles in family, business, and even governance. These women became the backbone of their communities, demonstrating remarkable resilience and resourcefulness.

The role of Caymanian women during this period is a testament to their fortitude and ability to adapt in the face of adversity. Their contributions were instrumental in maintaining the social and economic fabric of the Cayman Islands, ensuring that their communities thrived despite the challenges they faced.

Given that most of the men were frequently away at sea, the women of the Cayman Islands naturally assumed roles of public responsibility and leadership. This shift was not just a temporary adaptation but laid the groundwork for broader societal change.

In 1948, a significant petition was created by 24 women in the Cayman Islands, advocating for their right to vote. This petition marked an important moment in the struggle for women's suffrage in the region. One of the notable signatories from the North Side district was Mrs. Ellery Miller, who, along with other women, sought to secure voting rights and greater political participation for women.

 

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.
