SunRa Ring - Lapis Lazuli and Pink Opal - 14K Yellow Gold

The scarab, along with the concepts of existence, development, and growth, was revered as a symbol representing the cycle of life, creation, death, and rebirth, and was seen as a form of protection. Hundreds of thousands of scarab amulets were crafted in Egypt over many centuries, and many thousands have survived. They were typically carved from precious or semi-precious stones, metal, or glass, or molded from Egyptian faience, a primitive version of porcelain.

Lapis Lazuli is a semi precious stone formed during the metamorphosis of chalk into marble that has been prized since antiquity for its intense blue color. It has been mined since the 7th Millennium BC in the area of Afghanistan and used in many parts of the ancient world to create amulets (like the funeral mask of King Tutankhamun). At the end of the Middle Ages, it began to be exported to Europe, where it was ground into powder and made into ultramarine, the finest and most expensive of all blue pigments.

Common opal, also called "potch," lacks the vibrant play-of-color seen in precious opal but comes in beautiful shades, including pink. Found in small deposits, it is typically mined by small teams or families. Pink and yellow opal are often found together in deposits that formed over centuries at Mooka Station in Western Australia, an area once covered by a vast inland sea.

In order to avoid the impact of mining on the earth -including the release of CO2 into the atmosphere and the destruction of natural habitats-, we only use recycled gold to make our pieces.
