THE RING
”Like the Japanese art of Kintsugi (where broken ceramics are mended using gold and Urushi lacquer ), I highlight the beauty in breakages and ruins. ‘Solis’, (Latin for sun) is a nod to the ancient belief that gold was the actual sun that had fallen from the sky. All life needs light to grow; this ring is a homage to illuminated thought. ” – Joy BC
