The flower on this iconic Sophie Joanne ring is hand-carved from yttrium fluorite by an expert artisan, using an age-old, wood-carving technique. Yttrium fluorite is believed to have a calming effect on the mind and body. It is helping to reduce stress and promote feelings of tranquility.
The Flower ring is set with a brilliant-cut tourmaline, which symbolizes joy, emotional healing, and love.
The shape of the flower was inspired by the works of Hilma af Klint(1862) and Andy Warhol(1928), resembling a forget-me-not.
This piece is handmade from 14-karat recycled gold in our Atelier in Amsterdam. All gemstones are natural and hand carved, therefore there may be a slight variation in color, shape, and weight of the product.

Green Tourmaline
Green tourmaline varies from light minty green to deep, forest green tones. When the green shades are vivid and rich, it is often referred to as “verdelite,” a highly prized form of green tourmaline. Primarily sourced from Brazil, Namibia, and Afghanistan, green tourmaline is associated with vitality, prosperity, and emotional balance.

Recycled Gold
This piece is made from recycled gold, which means the gold is reclaimed from previously owned jewellery, which is then melted and newly refined. This way we limit the impact of our production on our planet and its communities.

All our jewelry is handmade in our Amsterdam atelier. Most of our carvings are hand-carved in our atelier and in Germany. Above all else, we value our community most, our customers, the craftsmen that generously lend us their skill, and everyone else who is involved in this journey. We build lasting relationships, we act with kindness and respect, and value quality of life. All the craftsmen and artisans we work with are compensated fairly.
We only work with people who align with our values of sourcing and crafting and make sure these ethics are lived throughout our supply chain. Where possible we produce locally, but we also highly value our craftsmen who work from a distance. They possess skills that are rare to find and are often tied to remote communities. We take pride in that our collaborations have a direct positive impact on them and their community.
When we first started our business, we aimed to be transparent about our jewelry pricing by providing a price breakdown for each piece. However, due to the constant fluctuations in gold and gemstone prices, it has become challenging to keep detailed cost breakdowns updated on our website.
As a small business with purpose in an industry that is hazy and foggy when it comes to its transparency, we want to lead by example and are committed to bringing transparency to the jewelry industry. If you're interested in receiving a full breakdown of our pricing and cost structure, we’d be happy to email you all the details. Please feel free to contact us at contact@sophiejoanne.com for more information.
