This one of a kind ring has the timeless character of Nantucket on a idyllic day. What looks to be a conch shell is back carved into a cabochon of perfect quartz crystal. A beguling mirror finish sparkles from behind the stone, bringing it alive with refraction of light. Designer Paula Crevoshay says, "Wear the light, live the beauty." This 18K yellow gold ring echoes that lovely sentiment. Fine faceted peridot flank the center stone, and scroll designs decorate the underside. Paula believes the reverse of a piece of jewelry should be an equal artistic statement to the side we show to the world.
Approximate Dimensions: 7/8" diameter and the rock crystal bobble is 5/8"; Ring is currently size 7 1/4 and I do not recommend sizing. Ring weighs a hefty 16.8 grams
About the designer: "The signature in my work is one of synthesizing cultures and time periods. A curator once said that I was a cross-pollinator of cultures and time", notes Paula Crevoshay. Combining the influences of exotic lands and cultures with time-honored craftsmanship, incredible gemstones and an artists eye for detail, Crevoshay is known for her breathtaking, one-of-a kind jewelry. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian and forty of her pieces were in the recent inaugural show of the new jewelry wing at the Headley Whitney Museum in Lexington, Kentucky.
