RING'S HISTORY
This massive, heavy ring embodies the spirit of Gothic architecture.
Its shape echoes the arch of a cathedral or a Gothic window, like a distant memory of ancient temples’ grandeur.
Along the entire base are detailed vintage reliefs that I carved by hand, inspired by Renaissance ornamental motifs and the organic lines of nature. It’s a blend of strict architectural forms and flowing, natural curves.
Four stones are securely set in closed (bezel) settings — the most reliable stone setting technique, enhanced by a decorative milgrain in the spirit of Edwardian jewelry craftsmanship.
This piece is an eclectic fusion, a conscious union of different eras and styles. Gothic meets Renaissance, strict architecture meets soft organic shapes, Victorian luxury meets modern abstraction.
It’s a long story told through a single piece of jewelry. A story about time, contrasts, and the beauty of imperfection.

coating
OXIDATION
Oxidation is my favorite coating for jewelry. I never tire of praising it because it allows for an unparalleled monochromatic finish, emphasizes relief, enhances the Gothic note, and medieval craftsmanship in the work. Oxidation chemically oxidizes silver to an almost black color. I leave the dark color in recesses and remove it from raised areas, resulting in incredible contrast and a well-defined relief or pattern on the surface.
Additionally, this coating behaves excellently in the long term - over time, the dark color intensifies in recesses and naturally polishes on raised areas, making the piece even more contrasting.
WITHOUT COATING
I often leave pieces without coating, embracing the natural silver color. The pure silver hue pairs best with dark stones, creating a contrasting look where the metal surface accentuates the depth of the stone's color.
Uncoated pieces appear luxurious and aesthetic, rivaling other coatings. However, it's crucial to understand that an uncoated item will tarnish over time due to exposure to the environment. To prevent this, periodic wiping with a soft fabric, which I include with every order, helps maintain the brilliance.
I also provide a 1 year guarantee on each piece, which includes free professional cleaning. Occasionally, you may want to clean the piece with a soft brush and mild soap (e.g., baby soap). Following these rules and proper care ensures your item stays untarnished.
And, of course, wearing your jewelry regularly facilitates natural surface polishing.
