Teal Sapphire and Ocean Diamond Asymmetric Cluster Ring With Barnacles
18ct yellow gold barnacles are decorated with 0.13ct raw diamonds and brilliant cut ocean diamonds. They surround a stunning 2ct teal sapphire that shimmers like the ocean, and looks like a treasure discovered at sea.
Made for the Poetry In Ocean showcase, and inspired by an extract from Louise Walker's poem Pebble:
"scattered jewels stud
the gleaming shore, as the tide
withdraws."
Ring size M, please get in touch regarding resizing.
The Designer
Since graduating with an MA from London’s Royal College of Art in 2005, Ruth Tomlinson continues to investigate the unpredictable and push boundaries of perceived preciousness in her critically acclaimed jewellery collections. She is considered by industry experts as one of the leading influences in the current generation of UK jewellery designers, and her unique designs and luxuriously wearable adornments are conceived with the notion of being treasured forever.
'I am driven by my passion for the earths treasures; the magic of minutiae, tiny intricacies, small imperfections, and the individual’s search for preciousness. I seek out the unconventional beauty within and this fuels my creativity, whether in the rarity of material or a curiosity in nature.
My inspiration is drawn from both the mysteries of historical jewels and the ephemerality of natures life cycles from birth to decay. My work is often a response to my immediate environment, whether a fleeting moment on a train in India or being totally immersed in a single jewel at a local museum. My eyes are wide open to new discoveries and I love to observe and absorb my surroundings.'
