Stunning 18kt Gold cup ring featuring a sparkling Burmese spinel, handmade by the talented artisans of Turquoise Mountain Myanmar. Spinel is a stone of hope and revitalisation. It comes in a wide range of colours from shades of pink, blue, red, yellow and brown. The name spinel comes from the Greek word for spark and is believed to bring good energy and repel negative thoughts for its wearer. Drawing on ancient Burmese symbols, Buddhist iconography, and the natural world of this beautiful South East Asian country for inspiration, Pippa has been working with Turquoise Mountain Myanmar for years. Each piece is handmade in Myanmar by artisans trained in traditional goldsmith techniques. Providing meaningful livelihood skills and much needed employment in one of Asia's poorest countries.
