Alighieri often draws upon their interpretation of legend and history to fashion their designs. This ring has a similar back story: VOTIVE OFFERINGS is a collection of ritualistic objects, inspired by the spiritual practices of ancient and modern civilisations. From the ancient Greek offerings to the Gods, to Indian prayer ceremonies, humans have been imbuing objects with hopes and vows, since the beginning of time. “As Alighieri comes into its tenth year, this collection, for me, is an offering to the future. After a very difficult personal time last year, Votive Offerings is all about hope and rebirth” – R.M. Bone-like structures, spears and vessels create a protective field around the skeleton of the self. Icy sterling silver is a symbol of new beginnings – a collision of the ancient and the futuristic.

This is a really large piece, and will sit across several fingers; they show a photo of it worn so you might want to check that if you are considering buying.

As shown, it’s made of gold plated sterling silver and priced at £475.
