RUBY TESTUDO, SHIELD™ RING
RUBY TESTUDO, SHIELD™ RING
TESTUDO, a symbol of protection. In ancient Viking and Roman warfare, the Testudo formation was a type of shield wall, a military tactic where soldiers used their shields to form a tortoise-like protective cover.
SHIELD™ ring in 18kt yellow gold set with cushion-cut (1.08ct) and round-faceted (0.62ctw) Burmese rubies (VS), and cushion-cut diamonds (VVS2-VS1, 1.0ctw); 18.0 total gram weight, size 7, as shown. Sizing available, upon request.
If unavailable in-store, this piece will be made-to-order.
As pieces are made by hand, often using one-of-a-kind gems, the custom process allows us to create a similar concept/version, but one reflective of your specific needs and aesthetic.
Weaving historic and symbolic references, inspired by Norse mythology, SHIELD™ explores the fusion and synergy of male and female power.
Yellow gold is the metal of our past and representative of the sun; thus harbours its strength, beauty and power.
The white of silver perfectly balances the piece with femininity and the mystery of moonlight.
