Description
This ancient style coin ring features a wonderful dove bird design found in San Marco Venezia. I love nothing more than strolling the fondamentas and calles de Venezia, but I hadn't seen this design until I found it in a book by British archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie.
The charming little dove is sitting on an acanthus branch with a background of twinkling little stars. The dove is an ancient symbol of peace and innocence as well as love, luck and prosperity. This little fellow reminds me of love and peace in particular. For this reason, he'd make a fantastic alternative wedding ring.
Acanthus leaves were sacred and used for medicinal healing in the ancient world and in the Mediterranean they were a symbol of enduring life or immortality.
Let this powerful symbolic ring bring you joy and allow the purity and innocence of that dove to embrace and invigorate you.
This ring is suitable for all occasions.
BRAND HISTORY AND ETHICS
The name Seraga comes from the name of my father, Serag, a Coptic Egyptian. He led me through the early part of the path that is my life, encouraging my talents to flourish and so it felt appropriate to name my company after him and the ancestry that has inspired me. In ancient Egypt, jewellery was of huge importance, as was gold and other riches. In particular, I love the ancient technique of granulation, where tiny balls of precious metal are added to the metal surface for decoration. Where possible, I try to combine the luxury of these ancient jewels with the wonder of the natural world, such as ancient English woodland and the beauty of the British seaside.
I believe in the time honoured tradition of my art, that is to make each item with love and the great care it merits. Every piece of jewellery is handmade in my small workshop by the coast in Lyme Regis, Dorset. No piece is exactly the same.
I put a lot of love into each piece I make and I hope you love your piece as much as I enjoyed making it.
