A Ring Inspired by a Coral Creature (Part 2)

Shortly after AnaKatarina was first hired to redesign the original coral ring that inspired this work of art, it was stolen. Rather than completely reconstruct the missing item, AnaKatarina used inspiration from a dream involving sea urchins which inspired the colors, shape and texture that are reflected in the finished piece, shown above. This oval-shaped coral stone is set in 18k yellow gold and features an intricate beading and a detailed undercarriage.

Keep[sake] The Change

It is not uncommon to hear someone say that one of the most unique mementos from any travel experience is something as basic as a coin. No sooner do these small metal pieces leave their country of origin, they become relics of experience, transforming from their intended value to sentimental value. Designer Ana-Katarina knows this first-hand.

When she received a Byzantine coin as a gift earlier this year, it already had tremendous sentimental meaning; representing the history and culture of a region dear to her, along with a special relationship with the man who gifted the coin to her. Rather than tucking it away somewhere, Ana-Katarina enveloped the ancient coin in 18k rose gold and created a beautiful pendant, a truly priceless possession that has become a statement piece unto itself for Ana-Katarina.
