New surprises by Theo Fennell

The new opening rings and the earrings with bees: the jewels by Theo Fennel ♦

It would be unfair to describe Theo Fennell as an extravagant designer. Of course, the British jeweler has a style that can bewilder who is considering to necklaces and rings as products of an immutable tradition, with styles and materials that lend themselves to only small variations. It is not the case of Theo Fennel (we have already spoken here). On the contrary, even though its rings will seem a bit ‘strange, these are the works of one of the leading jewelry designers today.

Anello con immagine di Oscar Wilde è una famosa frase pronunciata durate il suo processo: The love that dares to speak its name (l'amore che non osa pronunciare il suo nome)

And his pieces are handcrafted and feed the collections of many fans. The design, of course, is eclectic, sometimes even bizarre, but not rely only on arouse a surprise: the idea of ​​making the mini containers rings which conceal a subject, or rather a story, is unmatched. “The jewelry should be something emotionally involving and that improves life”, explains the designer to synthesize his philosophy. So, here are other rings within small polar bears, a starfish or a precious pearl. The wonder is assured.

The solstice at Stonehenge and the ring by Theo Fennell

/




Summer solstice, end of June. The date set by astronomy indicates the exact moment when the sun reaches, in its apparent motion (because we have the impression from the Earth that it is moving), the point of maximum or minimum declination. For example, in 2020 the summer solstice was set on June 20 at 9:44 pm exactly. The ancients had a rough idea of ​​the motion of the stars, but they also knew how to locate the solstice.

As in Stonehenge, Britain, where there are two concentric circles of monoliths weighing 50 tons. The axis of the monument is astronomically oriented, with an access path at the center of which stands a boulder called heel stone (Heel Stone, also called Fryar’s Heel). At the summer solstice the sun rises right above the Heel Stone.

And a special ring was dedicated to Stonehenge and its myths, celebrated every year by thousands of visitors, which encloses that magical place in miniature. The ring, in 18-karat gold, was created by British jewelry designer Theo Fennell, who is a specialist in rings with secrets, which encompass the most varied subjects. The ring of the summer solstice also has hand-engraved representations of the sun, moon and stars. A crown of diamonds surrounds a dome of blue topaz, reminiscent of the transition from night to dawn. Theo Fennell and his team took six months to make the new jewel. In case you are in love with Stonehenge, know that the ring costs around $ 28,000.
