The sky clears
and the moon and the snow
are one color.

Sogi (1421-1502)

This ring is made of silver with a first grade moonstone in the centre.
The surrounding structure creates the symbolic womb out of which the moon is born. Like the birth of a season, which is determined by the phase of the moon, the caressing lovers under a full moon? Like a moon, reflecting light to reveal its own beauty. 

Full of symbolic and abstract relations with the moon in relation to birth. The choice of materials (silver) is related to the pale shining of the moon. The embracement of the outer structure reveals the subtle colours which are reflected by the moonstone.
