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 a luminous blue-violet Tanzanite, shimmering with every shift of light — like twilight caught in gemstone form. 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.

💎 TANZANITE LORE:
Tanzanite is an exceptionally rare and captivating gemstone, found in only one place on Earth — the Merelani Hills at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. First discovered in 1967, its striking hues shift from lilac-blue to deep violet, depending on the light, making each stone feel like it holds a little magic. This pleochroic effect is part of what makes Tanzanite so enchanting and unique.
Often called the “Stone of Magic”, Tanzanite is believed to aid spiritual exploration and inner transformation. It’s also lovingly nicknamed the “workaholic’s stone”, as it encourages balance, calm, and clarity for those who are always on the go — helping to slow racing thoughts, enhance focus, and restore emotional harmony. Tanzanite is thought to ease stress, promote poise, and awaken one’s higher consciousness, making it a beautiful stone for those seeking both serenity and inspiration in their daily life.
