Violet Grace was inspired by the quiet power of a swan. I wanted to capture the moment when stillness turns into movement — when elegance reveals its strength.

The ring is composed of five overlapping gold feathers that wrap gently around the finger. Each feather was carved by hand to create layers of texture and rhythm, so that the piece feels alive even when it rests.

At its center sits a pear-shaped violet spinel. The color reminded me of evening light reflected on water — calm, mysterious, and luminous at once. The soft violet tone contrasts with the defined feather lines, creating a balance between softness and structure. Violet Grace represents a kind of modern femininity that is both quiet and confident. It’s about strength expressed through gentleness, and beauty that doesn’t need to speak loudly to be seen.
