A one-of-a-kind oxidised silver and 18ct yellow gold statement ring with a striking faceted tourmaline surrounded by blue topaz and natural zircon.
''Made from oxidised silver and 18ct yellow gold with tourmaline, apatites and zircons. People may say that jewellery is a frippery, but jewellery was possibly the first thing created by human beings that was not required for simple survival. Through the ages, jewellery has been used to express prestige, power, faith and love.'' - Maria Frantzi

Greek-born Maria Frantzi is fascinated by the history of jewellery and this is reflected in her work. Maria is particularly inspired by our ancient cave-dwelling ancestors - “People may say that jewellery is a frippery, but jewellery was possibly the first thing created by human beings that was not required for simple survival. Through the ages, jewellery has been used to express prestige, power, faith and love.” Maria’s jewellery is characterised by out-of-this-world colours and shapes.
