My ring is an ode to Provence as well as Lyon, and how there's minimal light pollution. Furthermore, the daytime gives way to a pure black sky with millions of stars that gleam like newly cut diamonds.
My ring aims to mimic that phenomenon with an engraved star at the center that gleams in different types of lights and angles, reminiscent of the many facets of a diamond.
