details and insight

The Design: The dramatically curved wing shapes of this extraordinary ring are inspired by the petals of the rare white egret orchid. The palette of the flower, white with touches of yellow, is reversed in the design. A dramatic golden yellow sapphire takes center stage. A white diamond halo is crowned by the petal corona of fancy yellow diamonds. The triple ring shank is paved with ombre yellow and white diamonds for even more brilliance. This ring would make a fabulous engagement ring, anniversary ring, or right hand ring to celebrate a personal achievement. Alexia's Inspiration: “I was inspired by the egret orchid, which has its petals outstretched like the wings of a bird. Jamaica has the world’s greatest variety of orchids because of its peculiar climate. In my early childhood I saw egrets and wild orchids everyday. This ring makes me think of a walk through an enchanted tropical forest…a tropical fairytale.” The Gems: Glowing like the tropical sun, a golden yellow fancy sapphire from Ceylon brightens even the cloudiest day. The gently heated sapphire has a high crown and beautiful facet pattern that make it as warm as it is brilliant. This bright and sunny gem is cut in an elongated antique cushion shape with a high crown. This cut makes the sapphire very sparkly it and catches the light and sparkles vividly no matter the location. The Craftsmanship: This complex ring could only be fabricated by hand due to the complexity of the orchid halo. The sapphire and yellow diamonds are set in 18k yellow gold and the white diamonds are set in platinum. The underbezel has delicately intricate hand-fabricated spindles that are a tribute to the goldsmith who created them. The fine craftsmanship makes this ring a modern heirloom. Because this ring is hand-made it is extremely strong and light for a ring of it's size. It does not roll on the finger and it so comfortable that you might almost forget you are wearing it! This piece is one of a kind and made in NYC.
