A sterling silver relic component with geometrical etching was sourced by Olivia in Istanbul. This, she brought to her studio, where she carved a golden signet ring with four claws in which to hold this relic. The Parian comes in larger sizes for a wider array of hands, including, for example, as a men’s ring.
The geometrical designs on the face of the gold and silver ring call to mind the architectural drawings of the Temple of the Sun from Poliphilo’s Strife of Love in a Dream. The building is a towering structure of white Parian marble, topped by a bronze weathervane in the form of a nymph, who shrieks as she pirouettes with the wind.
Face: 1.4cm x 1.4cm. Band: 1cm at widest.
