Geologic Collection - Solid Silver Rings with Moss Opal

Material: Solid Silver 925/1000
Stone: Opal (4.85 carats)
Weight: 17.9 grams

Geology, a science whose main object of study is the Earth, encompasses multiple disciplines. The collection of rings by Anthony Barrouyer associated with this theme also presents a style of jewelry, with a common spirit but different characteristics. The rings, pendants, and bracelets are made of solid silver at a legal fineness of 925/1000, sometimes combined with gold at a legal fineness of 750/1000, with or without fine or precious stones. For some creations, the aesthetics achieved through the work of angles, hollows, and openings in the metal evoke the physiognomy of rocky landscapes, cliffs, crevices, rugged terrains marked by the erosion of time. 

Sometimes the striations in the metal of the ring evoke the layering of geological sedimentary rocks. Other jewelry pieces in 925/1000 silver and 750/1000 gold may resemble volcanic features, specifically volcanic rocks post-eruption such as scoria, where metals appear to have fused or melted, or even shattered under extreme heat.

Pendants from the Krazy Stones collection may evoke plate tectonics, with the superposition of different pieces of 925/1000 silver creating a geometric yet asymmetrical style.

Lastly, for other unique pieces, there is a reference to speleology, specifically stalactites and stalagmites forming and evolving in caves. Their shapes are irregular, elongated, and sometimes they seem to come together to form columns.

As you can see, the Geologic Collection is a visual journey, with a raw, distinctive style where the aesthetics of the jewelry underline the physical history of our complex and secretive planet.
