Fiorino Iris Ring

80,00

Inspired by the Fiorino (Fior di Giglio), the symbol of the city of Florence, this piece was engraved on wax by the artist. The Iris band ring celebrates its great fame, which was minted in 24-karat gold for the first time in 1252, and hence the medieval dollar was born, in a fortunate time in which gold was appreciated, thus becoming a method of payment and reserve for wealth. With the great commercial expansion of the city, many merchants and bankers maintained the Fiorino with all of Italy and also in Europe, reaching as far as Turkey, Tunisia, and Morocco from where the Florentines brought back gold in powder form, coming from the gold rivers of Senegal.

HOW WE MAKE OUR JEWELS

All our pieces are original designs, handmade by Marina Calamai, and made using the Renaissance lost-wax casting method. We choose to cast in bronze due to the beauty of this transformative metal. Symbolizing the color of strength and support, bronze’s warmer color than gold, can patina over time. You can either choose to play with the beautiful patinas, or keep your jewels shiny like the mythological shield of Achilles.
