basic rings

When designing her jewellery, Peru's Susan Alfaro says she likes "...applying creativity to basic pieces and looking at the same object from different perspectives." For this modern cocktail ring, she elevates a simple triangle shape by adding a pyramid-shaped chrysocolla stone in a bezel setting and accenting it with three metallic spheres. She works with sterling silver which is polished to a brilliant shine.

Exalting their heritage, Manolo and Lucho create the images in finely tooled leather to surround a wall mirror.
