Rainbow Reflecting on the Water Surface Ring

Giant water droplet resting on the twigs

A doublet, masterfully designed and cut by a skilled Japanese lapidarist, combines the mother of pearl and rutilated quartz. The base layer of mother of pearl reveals its iridescence, showing a gentle play of colors–pearly white, pink, green, and gold–that shift and dances with every movement.

On top, the cabochon-cut rutilated quartz adds a smooth, rounded surface that magnifies the colors beneath. Acting like a lens, the rutilated quartz enhances the brilliance and depth of the mother of pearl. Golden threads of rutile appear to float within the quartz, lending a magical quality to the piece.

The doublet is set on ileava jewelry’s handmade signature branch-textured shank, a design that gently cradles the elevated stone. The ring, made of oxidized sterling silver, complements the gem, with the dark silver enhancing the luminous doublet’s mysterious beauty. It is as though a glistening water droplet has been resting on the branches, reflecting rainbow colors in the light.

The ring’s unique design and natural elements create a sense of connection to the earth. The delicate interplay of light and color from the mother of pearl and rutilated quartz inspires wonder and adds a touch of individuality to your style.
