So much time and consideration went into this design. Inspired by Karl Blossfeldt, who specialized in macrophotography of plants, flowers and seed heads, resulting in strikingly modern and beautiful images, Sophie closely studies the rhythmic forms of the remarkable seed pods hanging on the Hura Crepitans plant.
The flower shape is hand-carved from aquamarine by an expert artisan, using an age-old, wood-carving technique. Aquamarine helps move towards closure, it washes away stress and fear, leaving room for peace and tranquillity instead
The flower is set with a large brilliant-cut tourmaline, which symbolizes joy, emotional healing and love. The ring is made from 14-carat recycled gold.
Please allow six to eight weeks for its creation. Should you need it sooner, please contact us at contact@sophiejoanne.com with your request.
Made of 14k recycled gold, aquamarine and a 6.02 carats tourmaline.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine helps move towards closure, it washes away stress and fear, leaving room for peace and tranquillity instead.
Keywords: soothing, go with the flow, courage
Tourmaline
Tourmaline reminds us that we all have pillars of strength within us that we can lean on when we feel weak. This stone is all about recognizing the power you have to solve or deal with any problem in your life.
Keywords: joy, emotional healing, love.
Recycled Gold
This piece is made from recycled gold, this 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.

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.
With every piece we sell we openly share the breakdown of these compensations. 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.
We want to share with you the full story of how our pieces came to life, who put their love in them and how they were compensated. We want you to understand why a piece costs what it costs, therefore we share the full breakdown of the retail price with every item.
