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 pink opal by an expert artisan, using an age-old, wood-carving technique. Rhodonite helps to find a stronger sense of self and encourages you to expand or perfect your skills.
The flower is set with a large brilliant-cut Fire Opal, which symbolizes passion and creativity. The ring is made from 14-carat recycled gold.
All our gemstones are natural, and products are handcrafted, therefore there may be a slight variation in color and weight of the product.
This ring is made to order; please allow 3-5 weeks for its creation. Should you need it sooner, please contact us at contact@sophiejoanne.com with your request.
This ring can also be made in white or rose gold, contact us for more information.

Fire Opal
Known for their vibrant colors, a fire opal ranges from yellow, orange, to red hues. Unlike traditional opals, fire opals captivate with their vibrant body color and minimal play-of-color. We source ours in Mexico, where they are known for mining the best fire opals. Fire opal is said to bring more energy, passion, and a zest for life.
Keywords: passion, creativity, confidence
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.

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.
