original rings

Textured sterling silver rings orbit glowing carnelian beads in these original earrings from Teodoro Melendez and Family in Peru. The dangle earrings are crafted from sterling silver and feature smaller carnelian beads beneath the hooks.

The wow factor in these smoky quartz earrings originates with 24 total carats of pear-shaped checkerboard-faceted gemstones. Neha Virmani of India sets each stone in a sterling silver bezel, with the points convening along the border of a simple silver ring.

The serene aura of an ancient temple lights up in these lantern-shaped dangle earrings by Zayd Makarim. The Javanese artisan works in sterling silver to create this original design, whose Buddha's curl motifs reflect the designer's deep faith, whereas reconstituted turquoise cabochons evoke the refreshing waters that surround the region.

Dainty shields of sterling silver are embellished with curling vine motifs in this original earring design. Bezels at their centers hold petite round stones of faceted blue topaz. The earrings are designed by Bali artisan Diah Arini.

Flora Maria captures the spirit of freedom and transformation of dragonflies in this delicate pair of earrings. She handcrafts two dragonfly shapes from 925 sterling silver and decorates them with a pair of cylindrical amber beads and two small round amethysts.

Due to the natural, organic origin of amber, please expect slight variations in color and size. Since amber is a solidified resin, there may be remnants of plants and insects fossilized within — which only proves its authenticity.

Flora Maria was born into a family of jewelers and decided to continue with the family craft after studying architecture.She currently runs her own workshop and enjoys mixing contemporary designs with traditional techniques in her pieces.
