Industrial is the word that comes first to mind. But those little blooms of gold—and bursts of silver—indicate at second glance, maybe, something from nature.
Gold claws reach to enclose over a pear-shaped teal kyanite of rare size. Accented with a fenestrated gold leaf, a small twig of silver, and a small, budding spot of gold, this split-shank ring remains comfortable while still being, objectively, the coolest ring you will ever own.
Designed and handcrafted by Lesley Aine McKeown. Size 6.75.

About the maker: Lesley Aine Mckeown
“Creating is a process constantly in motion, one that keeps the maker searching for balance. I hope to create work that provokes thought. Bordering between sculpture and jewelry each piece is thoughtful in design and construction representing a meaning deeper than simply aesthetics.”
Using low-tech traditional metal smithing techniques and tools, each piece is created in Lesley’s studio in the tradition of the American Studio Art Jewelry movement of the 1940’s through the 60’s, which dictates that the work is created entirely in the artist’s studio. Her work is hand fabricated in precious metals, sterling, high carat gold, designer cabochons and gemstones.
Creating jewelry since 1984, Lesley is the daughter of two professional artists. An artistically rich environment that molded her vision and ethic. Lesley’s jewelry reflects a dedication to excellence in craft and attention to narrative. Each piece is unique with the intent to evoke conversation and represent the wearers personal expression. Lesley is currently exploring deep sculptural constructions with a botanical narrative. Lesley lives and works in the high desert mountains of northern Arizona.
