details and insight

The Design: Like Ai Weiwei’s iconic Bird’s Nest Olympic Stadium in Beijing, the lines of diamonds in this ring have a subtle rhythm and balance. The pear-shaped labradorite cabochon flashes with spectral iridescence, revealing an inner beauty. Dramatic but revealing its secrets slowly, you’ll never tire of watching the play of light and shadow across this ring’s pattern. The pattern on the front is mirrored on the back: a sign of uncompromising craftsmanship. Alexia's Inspiration: “I was inspired by the geometric patterns found in London’s East End architecture. The warehouse loft windows, the geometric patterns on the local mosques, and fractured looking lines in the labrodorite itself inspired the design. The taupe background and bright blue flashes of the gem reminds me of the neighborhood’s concrete and grey skies with flashes of colorful fashion.” The Gems: First discovered in Canada and Norway, laboradorite is a feldspar mineral that displays an iridescent optical effect known as schiller, which is also called labradorescence because it is unique to this gem. Microscopic layers diffract light into rainbow colors. Each pattern is unique. In this ring the labradorescence is contrasted with the brilliance of fine diamonds. The Craftsmanship: The cage of brilliance that covers the labradorite was modeled using a computer, hand-finished in platinum and then carefully set with diamond pave. Each pattern is unique. In this ring the blue labradorescence of the gem is contrasted with the brilliance of fine diamonds. This piece is one of a kind and made in NYC.
