3. The Gothic Fantasy ring elaborately interweaves symbols allowing for various interpretations like a raven, pterodactyl, or medieval scenes and expresses the wearer's individuality.
4. The Terra Incognita ring
1. 10. “Emperor’s Choice”
The peony has long been a symbol of wealth, grandeur and prosperity since the most ancient
of times. That is why many sovereigns have chosen it for their emblem. Large and gorgeous flowers
are considered a symbol of high power. Sometimes the peony is even called the “emperor’s flower”.
The unbridled generosity of nature is so evidently revealed by the peony which inspired the creation
of the Emperor’s Choice ring. The image of this magnificent and at the same time gentle flower is
able to inspire confidence and imbue with royal grandeur. However, not all the secrets of the ring are
revealed upon first sight. One must look from another perspective and you will see… a cabbage
head!
Don’t be surprised. Curiously enough, this plant can also be called imperial. Once upon a time
there lived Diocletian, the Roman emperor. He ruled rather successfully as the state prospered and
during this time the common people were not oppressed. However, he left the throne with no reason
at all and moved away to the country, answering his people’s persuasion to come back to country life
saying, “If you just saw the cabbage I am growing here!” He lived a long and happy life in the
province unlike his “colleagues” who tried to hold onto power by all means. In the end, he turned out
to be right in his preference to planting cabbage over palace intrigues. The very meaning of
Emperor’s Choice is the ability to be delighted with all the creations of nature without dividing them
into “noble” and “inferior.” After all, one must be able to look at oneself with a smile.
15. “Desert Music”
What do you imagine when you hear the word “desert”? Do you imagine heat, desert dunes
and endless sands? Coffles with patient camels driven by tawny riders? Hot wind extracting the
quivering last piece of hope from weak hands? Oasis’s with palms and crystal water appearing to be
just a mirage? The Desert Music ring comprises countless images related to this inhospitable land.
We can see images of bound vine interlocking its branches and surviving at the very edge of the
death with a beautiful enslaved bird safely hidden under its tent. Or maybe we will observe a bright
little bird trapped in the wire snares. From another perspective you will see an old haloxylon who
knows everything, but tells nothing. In a moment, the wind brings a thorny ball of tumbleweed which
will roll in the new spiral of its unlimited wanderings. Somewhere in the sand dunes, a raspy shout
will sound as the wind with its greed takes take it up and interweaves her sounds with an oriental
tune. The bells on the camel’s necks will ring and the sand will tenderly whisper. All these sounds
will blend into the unforgettable Desert Music.
5. “Gothic Fantasy”
I stop to ponder if there is any singular word that could answer the question, “What defines
jewelry?” Perhaps stylish, gorgeous, or even elegant? I believe there is only one fitting and absolute
truth to the matter: jewelry should be different. Accessories should be able to be used just as much as
for special occasions as in every day wear, matching different looks and underlining one’s unique
disposition. The wider the range your jewelry has the more occasions you will find to wear your
gems. The Gothic Fantasy ring belongs to that very special brand of accessories that can tell the
world about your radiant individuality and undoubted singularity. It elaborately interweaves elements
of other-worldly symbols with subtle irony which reduces excessive dramatic effect. Gothic Fantasy
can be interpreted for ages. In one distinct version, a raven stares at you as you call to mind the dark
rhymes by Edgar Allan Poe about the evanescence of humankind: “And the raven, never flitting, still
2. is sitting… And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming…” In another equally
unique adaptation, a prehistoric pterodactyl is destined to remind you of the transient nature of time.
In yet another interpretation, you can drift easily into the dream of yourself as a princess taken
captive, held against her will in a closed stone tower, awaiting her rescue by her prince on a white
horse from a frightful medieval dragon. Gothic Fantasy has countless interpretations and is without a
doubt an eye-catching piece of art and expression of your own originality. For this reason and so
many more, you will surely find innumerable occasions to wear, or better yet display, this original
ring!
Terra Incognita
For centuries, mankind has dreamt of undiscovered lands, desert islands, and mysterious
countries hidden beyond a hazy view and vastness of the ocean. As a child, all of us wanted to
visit places where no other had yet set his foot, where unseen plants grew and fantastic animals
roamed about in virgin pathways. As adults, in the back of our minds, behind the constant blur
of daily life, we tuck away our dreams about such places that cannot be found on a single map
and where vast uncharted spaces give heed to our visions of sweet dreams and heroes. Terra
Incognita, meaning unknown land, unearths your dreams like a magical key opening the door to
this unexplored world. Looking at this ring, you can hear the clanking of the key and the
switching of the lock as you are freed at last, as your mind and heart are transported to a small
island in the middle of the ocean. You are surrounded and captivated by the unspoiled, desolate
beach in its silent night. You stroll quietly and peacefully alongside the glistening sandy coast as
you drift away to the fulfillments of your dreams. Huge stars are reflected by the sea as waves
roll gently in and out, in and out. Terra Incognita has taken you away. Finally, you are set free
from the buzz and noise of the day in and day out, the common, the ordinary, and you are
transported to another planet. A place that is truly extraordinary, where stars scatter under
your feet and dance for you as you gaze upon this entirely different galaxy. Free and with
clarity, you can see in its entirety what others only dream of, the epitome of all Terra Incognita,
the unfathomably colossal universe.
