Symbolism & Meaning of the Ring Venus

The name Venus refers to the fascinating gemstone in this ring: rutile quartz. In ancient times, it was believed that the gold needle inclusions in this stone the hair of the goddess Venus were, giving the stone the nickname "Venus hair" gave. This makes the ring not only a visual statement, but also a piece of jewellery with mythical and romantic significance.

Golden South Sea Pearl - The Queen of Pearls

The golden South Sea pearl, one of the world's most exclusive and valuable pearls, is naturally formed by the golden-lipped Pinctada Maxima oyster. These pearls are cultivated in the Pacific and Indian Ocean, with the main countries of origin being Australia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Myanmar. Their natural golden hue and exceptional shine make them particularly rare and beloved in haute joaillerie.
