Oval Cobbed Quartz Ring

A connection to nature’s elegance

Oval shaped cobbed quartz is set in ileava jewelry’s signature branch textured ringing in 18k yellow gold with a matte finish.

Before the mechanization of stone polishing, there were craftsmen in Japan who specialized in a technique called “Cobbing." It is a process of determining and into pieces of convenient size by hand in the most efficient way to cut the raw quartz. Although cobbing artists have disappeared with the advent of mechanization, today’s the master lapidarists have intentionally left the marks of the cobbing Maestro from the past on the cut quartz.

The branch-textured shank creates a harmony with the cobbled quartz, giving the piece a distinct organic quality, The quartz, set slightly elevated, captures light from different angles, revealing its internal reflections through its clear surface. This height emphasizes the stone’s presence, allowing light to pass through and create a delicate transparency. As you wear this ring, this elevated setting adds a dimension of depth, inviting you to gaze into the stone. The matte finish on the branch texture adds a soft, warm touch to the gold that complements the natural design. It is as if a large, frozen water droplet has nestled within the branches, securely held by nature’s gentle hand.

Wearing this ring feels like carrying a small piece of nature with you, offering a quiet sense of strength and individuality.
