13.5 × 14 × 10 cm
An ancient ring, as if lifted from the earth where it had slept for centuries, Auric Balance evokes the feeling of a precious votive object newly unearthed from a forgotten burial chamber. Its complete circular form suggests continuity and renewal — a relic that seems to bring lost stories back into the present.
A single gold-gilded stone glows like a sacred offering at the heart of the piece, flanked by two silver-gilt stones that catch the light like moonlit metal. Around them, the ochre, red-brown, and grey stones speak of riverbeds, ancient soils, and the patient shaping of time.
Stone Map:
• Ochre and caramel river stones – earth’s soft, time-smoothed voices
• Red-brown jasper – echo of ancient amulets and charms
• Dark basalt and flint – grounding the relic in primal bedrock
• Pale water-worn pebbles – quiet keepers of memory
• One gold-gilded stone – the votive heart of the ring
• Two silver-gilt stones – glimmers of moonlight among the earthen tones
• Clear resin base – still, reflective like water in a sacred pool
