The story of the design
Architectural. Ornate. Unmistakable.
This statement ring centers on a commanding 16x12mm faceted Elite Shungite weighing 4.70 carats. The deep carbon-black oval rises from an ornate crown gallery framed with filigree detailing and sculpted prongs finished in 18k yellow gold vermeil.
On either side of the center stone, stabilized Sleeping Beauty turquoise cabochons (0.55ctw) introduce vivid blue contrast — clean, saturated, and unmistakable. White zircon accents (0.35ctw) add precision brilliance along the shoulders, with rhodium-finished prong tips to sharpen the visual edge.
The side structure is built almost like miniature columns, flowing into vintage-inspired scrollwork that supports the elevated crown. The combination of black, blue, and gold creates a bold, heirloom-style silhouette without feeling costume.
Shungite absorbs light.
Turquoise carries it.
Zircon defines it.
Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with layered 18k yellow gold vermeil and selective rhodium detailing, this ring balances visual weight with structural integrity.
Please Note:This piece features genuineElite Shungite (Type I High-Carbon Shungite, 90–98% carbon). Not all shungite is jewelry-grade — most commercially available material contains significantly lower carbon content and is not suitable for precision faceting.
