From The Golden Menagerie. Handcrafted in Florence by master goldsmiths, the 18K Turtle on the Rocks Ring is both a jewel and a memory, inspired by quiet afternoons beside country ponds. In sculpted gold, a cluster of greenish-blue cabochons forms what first appears to be a single shell. On closer view, it reveals many turtles resting together, their shells shaped from luminous Paraíba tourmaline. The ring recalls a slower rhythm of life, where turtles bask on warm rocks, frogs drift among lily pads, and the air carries the calm of summer. It is a scene drawn from nature and from childhood, where time itself seems to pause. Echoing the Mock Turtle’s tale in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, this piece honors both imagination and observation. It reminds us to slow down, look closely, and find meaning in the simple and familiar. Product Details 18K gold Paraiba Tourmaline 35.14ct Diamond 1.73ct Width: 2.7cm/1.05'' Italy Show more
