The Skeie's Difference
Shimmering Depths of the Mediterranean
Immerse yourself in the captivating, aquatic poetry of the Lika Behar Mare Nostrum ring. Hand-wrought with the collection's signature old-world charm, this statement ring is named after the ancient Latin term for the Mediterranean Sea—meaning "Our Sea." The centerpiece features a mesmerizing 13x18mm oval cabochon doublet, expertly combining a vibrant, deep London blue topaz layered over shimmering mother-of-pearl. This unique combination allows light to pierce through the velvety blue stone and bounce off the iridescent pearl backing, creating a dynamic, inner glow that mimics the shifting light on sun-drenched ocean waves.
The magnificent gem is secured within a warm, high-purity 24k yellow gold bezel, prized for its rich, buttery hue. This striking gold frame is beautifully offset by an east-west oxidized sterling silver ring top, intricately bordered by shimmering white accent diamonds that add a brilliant touch of modern sparkle to the antiqued silhouette.
True Old-World Metalwork
Celebrating the spirit of ancient Mediterranean civilizations, every facet of this ring showcases Lika Behar’s masterful, hand-hammered styling. The contrast between the rich 24k yellow gold fusion accents and the dark, moody tones of the hammered oxidized sterling silver shank creates a wearable piece of historical art. The band features a subtly tapered profile, ensuring a comfortable, balanced fit on the finger despite its bold, high-impact presence. Perfect as an exotic cocktail ring, a milestone celebration gift, or a unique alternative birthstone statement, this fine talisman brings an enchanting, artistic luxury to any jewelry box.
