Ténéré Ring

Ref No: US032/20027

Design: Nicknamed the “Gem Whisperer", Daria de Koning is a Los-Angeles based jewelry designer and gemologist. She creates art meant to be worn and treasured as pieces of a vast collection of beauty. Her one-of-a-kind jewelry reflects femininity, confidence, and spiritedness. Daria's designs never begin in a sketchbook, but in the inner world of matrix-rich gemstones that speak to her. She is a matchmaker of colors and shapes that were destined to be together.

Style notes: Daria's new Landscape collection is a direct result of her wandering in nature all over the world. The one-of-a-kind Ténéré Ring is from her Sky capsule.

Why is it unique? The contrasting hues of orange, blue, grey, and black that make up the clouds, foliage and rocky landscape in Maligano Jasper are actually a result of millions of years of silica-rich fluids flowing through porous rock. Over time, silica accumulates and forms chalcedony deposits, with the color and patterns being determined by the presence of trace elements and impurities. The first, top quality material that came to market (from Indonesia) had the best patterns, interesting dendrite markings (which are the tree-like tendrils that are actually oxidized growths of the mineral manganese) and landscape scenes, which is now mined out.
