Geologic Collection - Solid Silver Rings with Turquoise

Material: Solid Silver 925/1000
Stone: Turquoise (0.095 carats)
Weight: 5.1 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, and 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 semi-precious or 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, steep cliffs, marked by the erosion of time. 

Sometimes the streaks in the metal of the ring recall the layering of geological sedimentary rocks that can be observed in rocks. Other pieces of jewelry made of 925/1000 silver and 750/1000 gold may resemble volcanic features, specifically the appearance of volcanic rocks after an eruption, such as slag, where metals seem to have fused or melted, or even shattered, under extreme heat.

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

Finally, for other pieces, all of which are unique, there is a reference to speleology, specifically to 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 have understood, the Geologic Collection is a visual journey, with a raw, very distinctive style where the aesthetics of the jewelry underline the physical history of our complex and secretive planet.
