From a chance meeting, to a statement ring

Some say that time spent waiting in airports is time lost. For one Washington State couple, however, their time awaiting a flight at JFK led to a serendipitous meeting with AnaKatarina Eco Gioielli's designer, Ana-Katarina. They admired one of the rings Ana-Katarina was wearing as she waited for a flight to Kuwait. After a bit of conversation, Ana-Katarina suggested a contemporary, statement ring in rose gold and lapis for the woman. The couple commissioned the piece and, several months later, the woman was wearing this stunning custom ring...

A Ring Inspired By A Coral Creature


Inspired by a dream, this custom piece has a bit of a background story; the original coral ring was stolen after designer Ana-Katarina was hired to update and redesign the classic and timeless piece. The designer decided to replace the embezzled statement ring but she did not want to create just any design, it had to be fun and different. In a recent dream, Ana-Katarina envisioned sea urchins. Everything about the maritime creature--color, texture, shape--inspired the design of this ring.

Below are the CAD images of the coral ring: Coral, 18k yellow gold.
