This handcrafted ring is a piece from The Garden of Hesperides collection, inspired by a magical twilight grove in Greek Mythology. This sanctuary is filled with rare orchids in purple, violet, dark pink and white. It holds the golden apples of immortality that hang from a silver tree at its centre, guarded by the Hesperides, nymphs of the evening. The gems for this collection were chosen to represent the mystical orchids in this dreamlike place. Celestial accents and orchid flowers in silver adorn many pieces to symbolise the twilight sky above and the beautiful growth below. The apples of eternal life are paid tribute to by golden spheres crafted from recycled brass, bringing together a collection deep with magic and meaning.
This ring brings the story to life through two spellbinding stones — a glowing, semi-translucent Fluorite, alive with layered hues of lilac, teal, purple soft violet, and a Moonstone that shimmers with ethereal flashes, like moonlight dancing across water. As with all my work, it is entirely one of a kind, handcrafted from recycled precious metals and created using cruelty-free practices, ethically sourced crystals, and environmentally conscious methods.
I have created this ring in a size 6 to 6 1/4 (Australian size L 1/2 to M).

💎 MOONSTONE LORE:
Moonstone has been cherished in jewellery for thousands of years. The ancient Romans believed it was formed from solidified moonlight, while in India, it has long been considered sacred — especially for lovers — and is still given as a traditional wedding gift. Used for centuries across the Orient, Moonstone was also adored during the Art Nouveau era, prized by jewellers for its ethereal glow. In European folklore, it was believed to reconcile estranged lovers and soothe restless sleep.
Known as The Traveller’s Stone, Moonstone has been worn for protection, particularly at night or while journeying over water. Spiritually, it’s a crystal of new beginnings — supporting first love, fresh chapters, and emotional balance. Said to enhance intuition, creativity, and feminine energy, it’s also cherished as a powerful fertility stone and a gentle aid in nurturing confidence and inner calm.
💎 FLUORITE LORE:
Fluorite has long been cherished for its captivating natural colours, ranging from deep violet to delicate green, and was carved into decorative objects as far back as ancient Rome and China. In the 1850's, the word 'fluorescent' was named after the gemstone Fluorite due to the gorgeous light and colours evident within the crystal. In modern times, Fluorite can aid intuition and heighten mental abilities, helping the wearer become more organized. It is an excellent stone for healing and also helps strengthen communication, allowing the wearer to communicate more effectively. Spiritually, it's known as a stone of clarity and calm, believed to help clear negative energy and bring focus, making it a favourite for both grounding and intuition.
