The small symbol of an open palm: a hello, a welcome, a door open to possibility. Hand cut and carved in a jasper by stone carver Lala Ragimov. An ancient symbol, and ancient stone, both treated with a veil of modernity.
This particular type of jasper is akin to that found in ancient Egyptian artifacts. It would have been used in an array of ways: as vessels, statues, jewelry. This ancient context married with a contemporary signet style pays equal parts homage to the present and the past. The signet base has been carved from wax, with a soft, rounded interior and exterior, its tactile, subtle, and the heavy bezel rises to perfectly house the jasper which sits just above the gold giving the stone additional glory.
It is cast either in recycled 10k or l8k yellow gold. Custom colors and sizes are available upon request by emailing studio@katejones.us
