The Verdant Minerals Geoda Art Ring by Maria Manola is a meticulously crafted one-of-a-kind signet ring. A true masterpiece, showcasing a harmonious combination of 9ct yellow gold with black rhodium plating. Its striking design features a vivid green tourmaline, vibrant tsavorites, peridot, and salt & pepper diamonds, creating a unique and captivating piece of jewellery iconic of the designer's style that plays homage to the beauty of imperfection in the inspiring landscapes of the South of Chile and the geological forms of the Andes.
Manola says about her Art Ring:
"This ring is inspired in the natural shape of geodes. Hollow and exceptional geological formations within sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Masses of sparkly crystals are secluded inside and are revealed when cut in half. The ring plays with the juxtaposition between the matte and the glint, the rough and the elaborate, the hollow and the whole".
