QUALIA / DIAMONDS ring | 18-carat yellow gold

The Ribosome ring is a gold sculpture, a fragment of thought frozen in matter. Entirely handcrafted, it first comes to life in wax, before being cast in 18-carat yellow and red gold. This contrast of precious metals gives birth to a two-tone object with no beginning or end, with organic, almost liquid movements, evoking a primitive and cosmic rhythm.

Its name and shape pay homage to a tiny but fundamental particle: the ribosome. Present in all living cells, ribosomes translate messenger RNA into proteins—the building blocks of life. Virtually unchanged since the dawn of humanity, they are at the heart of life expression. Without them, no life form would exist on Earth.

The Ribosome ring embodies this truth: from chaos comes harmony, from raw matter emerges biological intelligence. It takes us back to the origins, to this molten matter which, patiently, over millions of years, has organized itself to give meaning, a body, a consciousness symbolized here by this magnificent and rare two-tone sapphire.

Its fluid and unpredictable design is an invitation to contemplation. Each angle reveals a new balance, a new reading—as if the ring were dancing around an invisible axis.

This piece carries a message: magic resides in the details that hide the essential, in those discreet but indispensable mechanisms that hold life together. It questions us about our relationship with nature, the origin of our condition, and the fragile and arrogant place that Man has given himself in the world order.

With the Ribosome ring, jewelry becomes reflection, and the jewel, a talisman of thought. It speaks to those who look beyond appearances, toward what builds, connects, and makes sense.
