Majestas ring

MAJESTAS Ring

One-of-a-kind artisan ring with a natural gemstone, baroque pearls and hand-fired vitreous enamel.

Each MAJESTAS is built individually around its stone. The gemstone determines the proportions of the setting, while baroque pearls are selected separately for each piece. Their natural variations make the exact composition impossible to repeat.

The first design from TOMB — a new chapter of Ruinism in which the ruin exists not only on the surface, but within the origins of the object itself.

Majestas is a Latin word meaning greatness, dignity and presence.

The ring’s monumental composition recalls jewelry of the Northern Renaissance and later Renaissance Revival, when large gemstones, botanical ornament, colored enamel and pearls were assembled into intricate, layered structures.

The first completed MAJESTAS, shown in the photographs, is built around a natural tourmaline brought from Thailand. The silver leaves surrounding the stone reproduce details of an old decorative fragment found in Uzbekistan. The same ornament first appeared in the JARDIN ring; here, fragments of the original pattern return within a new composition.

The stone is framed by baroque pearls found in a small, long-established shop in Vietnam. Each pearl is selected individually for the ring, creating a different rhythm around every stone.

The sides are filled with hand-fired vitreous enamel, created in Saigon together with a local master who has spent years working to revive an almost forgotten craft in Vietnam. Heat and the interaction between glass and metal alter the depth and tone of the enamel, so the final surface cannot be reproduced exactly.

Sterling silver, 18k gold plating and dark oxidation created with natural volcanic sulfur from Indonesia bring these materials and fragments of different origins into a single structure.

MAJESTAS does not reconstruct a specific historical artifact. It assembles displaced ornaments, materials and craft traditions into a contemporary object.

READY-TO-SHIP & INDIVIDUAL EDITION

The ring shown in the photographs is the first completed MAJESTAS. It is available exactly as shown and fits US sizes 6–7.

For all other sizes, MAJESTAS is individually made to order. You will choose a natural gemstone from the currently available selection. Its shape, color and inclusions will determine the proportions of the setting, while the baroque pearls will be selected specifically for that composition.

The enamel color can be changed upon request. Because every element is fired by hand, its final shade will carry natural variations.

After the order is placed, we will contact you with the available stones and confirm the ring size, enamel color and remaining details before production begins.
