• Three Byzantine Rings

    Diamond Crystal Scribble Ring

    Inspired by the Elizabethan scribble ring, in which raw diamonds were set into gold. Lovers would scrawl notes to one another on their window panes with their diamond, hence the name. This one is in 18k lemon gold, a raw diamond crystal at its center, the palest of canary yellows. It is surrounded by fully cut pale canary diamonds.

    Chrysacola Ring

    This gem silica stone is rarely available for purchase, even from designer jewelers. The reason? It is so rare and its caribbean blue color so striking, it so often remains in the designers' private collections. Set in 22k bezel, flanked by white diamonds in 18k lemon gold.

    Daffodil Ring

    A sunny yellow sapphire set in platinum, accented by tiny white Russian diamonds in 18k lemon gold.

  • Delfina

    Delfina

    This seriously whimsical pin/pendant is pure magic, painstakingly created and assembled by the artist.

Its head is 22k gold sheet, formed dimentionally and accented with hand granulation, a star sapphire and ideal cut diamonds in platinum. Inspired by the dolphins (tritons, really) from Italian fountains, and by her studies with Florentine mosaic Maestro Sr. lastrucci, this piece with its accompanying necklace took a total of three months to build. Its necklace is constructed of 18k sapphire beads, hand made 22k granulated beads that are reversible and set with tiny colored gems, and diamonds in platinum.
