Jeanine Payer has remained faithful to the poetry engraved silver and gold jewellery she began designing over 20 years ago. She has added brass and fabric to her pieces, clever additions given the skyrocketing price of gold. This ring, named Aulaire, features a quote from Mahatma Ghandi: What barrier is there that love cannot break?

Crafted in sterling silver, it sells for USD $440 and is available on her site.
