These made-to-order Orchid Rings are a piece from The Garden of Hesperides collection — a handcrafted tribute to the mythical twilight grove of Greek legend. In this enchanted sanctuary, rare orchids bloom in shades of violet, purple, dark pink and white beneath a dusky sky, while golden apples of immortality hang from a silver tree at its heart, guarded by the Hesperides — nymphs of the evening. Inspired by the beauty and magic of this dreamlike place, each ring features a silver orchid sculpted entirely by hand, hammer and fire.
To order, simply select your ring size from the drop-down menu, and I’ll create your Custom Orchid Ring with love and intention in my Melbourne studio. Every delicate petal is formed from molten silver, shaped, layered, and engraved by hand with care — a one-of-a-kind bloom unlike any other.
Because each ring is entirely hand-fabricated, no two orchids will ever be the same; subtle textures and organic markings emerge naturally in the silver as it’s melted and worked by hand, making each piece completely unique. As with all my work, these rings are individually created using recycled silver, cruelty-free materials and environmentally conscious practices.

💎 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.
