The Mother

A Roman carnelian intaglio depicting the goddess Ceres, transformed into a 750 gold ring

The Mother centres around an original Roman carnelian intaglio, depicting Ceres, goddess of abundance, agriculture, and motherhood. Set within sculptural 750 gold, the engraved gemstone remains exactly as it has endured through the centuries.

The depiction of Ceres goes beyond simple ornamentation, cementing her as a symbol of abundance and protection. The result is a piece that celebrates not only exceptional craftsmanship, but one of humanity's oldest hopes: birth, growth and prosperity.
