AQA003 AQUA Alexandrina TOURMALINE RING
After one of the aqueducts of Rome, Aqua Alexandrina, circa 200 AD, built to serve the Severan Baths.
Classical without being severe, contemporary without being trendy, the Aqua Alexandrina Tourmaline Ring creates a truly regal impression. An original, dramatic setting executed in 18k yellow gold with 18k palladium white gold accents carefully balances the rich hues of the tourmaline gemstone. A meditation on eternal form. For the uncompromising and passionate connoisseur.

Inspiration
(thoughts of the maker)
To guide, convey, direct a moving force.
Slabs of thick metal - exuding impenetrability. Dense, homogenous. No mark should be superfluous - only what is required. Form that strives to venerate the shadows cast by function.
Cut the slabs - bend them, drill into them.
The torque of the end mill can send the piece flying across the room if it is not precisely clamped - if the edges are not precisely milled.
Accents that resemble bolt heads, forged nails, and rivets.
The culet of the stone descends into the channel.
Setting the stones - a complete antithesis to the other processes - like tucking a baby in at night.
