Majestic, gold granulation ring
$8,200.00
The form of this gold granulation ring is inspired by the pyramidal rings in the Sutton Hoo hoard found in England. The base is an Eastern repousse pyramid that is forged out of one sheet of sterling silver with no seams. Upon the pyramid are organically formed sections of 18k gold fused granulation that draw the eye upward to the apex of the pyramid, a 22k gold bezel set pyramidal, pink tourmaline, surrounded by 22k gold granules. The 18k gold granulation of the shank echoes the undulating designs of the ring’s top.

Pyramids reference integration of self and soul, death and rebirth. In the context of this series, this supernatural influence is parallel to that of Prospera, who used magic to create illusions to control situations. Majestic, exerts its power not only through its pyramidal form, but also through its sumptuous materials and color combination of gold and red (in this case a pink tourmaline); it indicates cultivated taste and its associated social status and authority.
