This handcrafted ring set 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 a silver orchid — sculpted entirely by hand, hammer and fire. Each delicate petal is formed from molten silver, layered and engraved with care, making it a truly one-of-a-kind bloom unlike any other. 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.

💎 ORCHID LORE
For centuries, orchids have been symbols of rare beauty, strength, and delicate refinement. Revered across cultures, they’ve long represented love, luxury and resilience — blooming in unexpected places and thriving in even the most unlikely environments. In Ancient Greece, orchids were also associated with fertility and vitality, their graceful shapes and intricate petals stirring fascination and awe.
In The Garden of Hesperides from Greek Mythology, the orchid becomes something more — a rare twilight bloom unfurling beneath violet skies. These flowers feel as though they’ve been touched by moonlight, blooming only when the stars awaken and the air is heavy with stories. Their petals shimmer beside the golden apples of immortality, watched over by the evening nymphs who guard the grove. Each silver orchid I create is my small tribute to this mythical place — a flower forged from fire and metal, echoing the beauty of something both fragile and enduring, growing in a realm where magic is real and dusk never ends.
