Rosa Orb Ring #2

The Orb is an ancient symbol of imperial authority, first adopted by the Romans and later embraced by European monarchs. In the Roman Empire, the sphere represented the cosmos and the emperor’s role as Jupiter’s earthly representative. Early Christians adapted this imagery by placing a cross atop the globe, and it became a standard Christian emblem of authority from the Middle Ages onward.  

A rather well-known Orb is the Sovereign's Orb, part of the British Crown Jewels, used in coronations since 1661. Royal goldsmith Robert Viner created the 30 cm hollow gold sphere, set with 9 emeralds, 18 rubies, 9 sapphires, 365 diamonds, 375 pearls, an amethyst and a glass stone - it weighed about 1.32 kg or about 2.9lbs. This Orb weighs considerably less!

I decided to make a small series of bejewelled Romanesque orbs, with bullet style cabochon gems set at the center. This dainty beauty has a lovely rich pink tourmaline framed by a band of delicious purple grape garnets and golden spheres of granulation "moons" orbiting around it.

Beautiful as a solitaire, or even better, stack with our Doric band or other Orb rings to create a color filled tableau.

Made to order. Please allow 8-10 weeks for its creation.
