Geologic Collection - Solid Silver and Turquoise Rings

Material: Solid silver 925/1000
Stone: Turquoise (0.25 carat)
Weight: 5.2 grams

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

Sometimes the streaks in the metal of the ring resemble the layering of geological sedimentary rocks that can be observed. Other pieces of jewelry in 925/1000 silver and 750/1000 gold may resemble volcanism, specifically the appearance of volcanic rocks after an eruption such as scoria; the metals appear to have fused or melted, or even exploded, under the effect of extreme heat.

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

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

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