A step back in time. My first location. These images reminded me of what is possible … even when it seems like it is not. 

Symmetry!

Our brains are remarkable instruments. We may not have a conscious awareness of precisely what is “wrong” when we see something out of place but we know something is.

In this piece I have juxtaposed the asymmetry of the ring with the impeccable symmetry of the gem. Cut by renowned lapidary Wobito gems this Morganite is the very definition of symmetry.

How does this juxtaposition make you feel? Would you have felt differently had I not mentioned it?

Can you tell which of these pieces was made c1920?

I sold one of these pieces a while back. It was part of a vintage collection we hosted and was made in the 1920’s. Platinum and diamond.

I designed and made the other piece recently to complete the “set”. We even procured and had the diamond(s) re-cut to match the transitional European cut of the original piece.

Can you guess which one is which?

Have you ever heard of Alexandrite?

Believe it or not these two images are of one ring! The same gemstone! It’s a colour change gem and is among the most rare of gems on earth!

The most remarkable quality of Alexandrite is this colour change property. And, you are in luck. You are looking at an extremely fine example of Alexandrite due to it’s pronounced colour change and strong colour.

This ring was designed and made for the wife of one of our private clients as a birthday gift. Alexandrite also happens to be the birthstone for the  month of June.

Remarkable isn’t it?
