Reminiscent of a bejeweled Orb, instead of a customary cross mounted top it, this one has a mysterious seafoam blue green tourmaline cut in a bullet style cabochon. A band of delicious purple grape garnets and golden balls of granulation surrounding it. Wear as a single ring or write your own hand story by mixing with your favorite stacking bands or other Orb rings. Made in recycled 22k yellow gold, a Mozambiquan tourmaline (.95ctw) and garnets from Orissa, India (.15ctw). Size 7. Made to order.

Verdant Green Orb Ring #3

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.

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

Wear it solitaire style, or, even better (in my opinion), write your own story by mixing with your favorite stacking bands or other Orb rings.
