    ONE OF A KIND 

    Studded with red garnet, white diamonds, and blue sapphire, this sculptural ring is forged in heavyweight oxidized silver with 22K gold bezels. We love the substantial heft of this ring, which glistens and sparkles from every angle and resembles a precious ancient artifact. Band width is just over ¼ inch. 0.03 ctw diamonds. Size 7.

     


    MEET THE DESIGNER

    A hidden treasure from an austere yet magical destination located on the Pacific coast between San Francisco and Santa Barbara, Big Sur Goldsmith produces one-of-a-kind fine jewelry pieces infused with a rich family legacy that started with the creativity, inventiveness, and skill of patriarch Karl Lee.

    Karl first developed his passion and skill for metalsmithing at The Esalen Institute in the 1960s, and by the 1970s he had perfected his skills in both casting and hand fabrication, mixing metals like 22K gold, platinum, and silver in unique ways. In the 1980s, Karl's son Aurthur started apprenticing under his father, and daughter-in-law Carrie Armstrong soon followed, eventually contributing their own vision and point of view to the pieces. 

     

    We love how this stately ring, with its pleasant weight and unusual details, looks like it could have been unearthed as a buried treasure from an archaeological hunt.
