Pounamu doesn't need much, but pair it with the warmth of 9k yellow gold and the grounded texture of sterling silver and something lovely happens.
This ring centres a hand-cut New Zealand pounamu teardrop cabochon, shaped and polished to draw out the stone's depth of colour, then set proud in a 9k yellow gold mount. The band is textured sterling silver, split at the shank to frame the setting and add a sense of openness and light.
Each piece of pounamu is entirely its own. The greens, the translucency, the markings, yours will be one of a kind.
