Falkland Islands Stylasteridae Champagne Pool Art Ring

Please note, this is a one-of-a-kind ring made for our ARTring 2023 exhibition. ARTring is an annual celebration of bold design and craftsmanship showcasing masterful creations from 30 unique designers. The ARTring event is hosted in the gallery from November to January. Each ARTring comes with a dedicated Story Card featuring a sketch and quote from the designer.

The Falkland Islands Coral Art Ring by Alice Clarke is a stunning one-of-a-kind ring that showcases the designer’s signature style. A mesmerising piece of jewellery inspired by the timeless beauty of nature’s coastal wonders. This exquisite ring captures the essence of a Champagne Pool, a natural phenomenon sculpted over millennia by the gentle caress of ocean waves. The ring’s design features a graceful setting that cradles glistening diamonds, evoking the sensation of a tranquil pool of sparkling water left by the receding tide. Surrounding the diamonds are intricate details, reminiscent of the many different corals and kelp that adorn the pool’s rocky basin. A wearable work of art that encapsulates the tranquility and splendour of this natural marvel, allowing you to carry a piece of coastal serenity with you wherever you go.

Alice says about her Art Ring:

“A Champagne Pool is a bowl which has been created over thousands of years by waves on the shoreline. During a low tide, the ocean leaves a pool of water in the bowl, which makes for a relaxing dip in the sparkling water surrounded by many different corals and kelp!”
