The Revolving Ring of Myth: Pegasus
Wear a dynamic masterpiece and a fragment of history. This 18-karat gold ring features an authentic Roman intaglio showcasing the iconic Pegasus, enhanced by a unique and interactive revolving design.
The Magic of a Jewel in Motion
The most extraordinary feature of this ring is its revolving design. The onyx gemstone, finished to a deep, polished black, is not fixed: it can be gently rotated within its 18-karat gold setting. This artisanal innovation provides not only a dynamic and captivating visual element but also a unique tactile sensation. The back of the stone has been carefully smoothed and rounded to ensure flawless rotation and an exceptionally comfortable fit. The combination of the glossy black onyx and the precious metal creates a dramatic contrast that immediately catches the eye, amplifying the piece's elegance and mystery.
Pegasus: The Symbol of Divine Ascent
At the heart of this ring lies an authentic Roman intaglio, dating back to the 1st–2nd Century AD, depicting Pegasus (Pegasos), the legendary winged horse. This powerful mythological creature, born from the union of Poseidon and the Gorgon Medusa, was quickly adopted and revered by the Romans as an emblem of divine inspiration, untamed freedom, and celestial power.
The image of Pegasus served as a constant reminder of the myth of the Greek hero Bellerophon, who rode him to conquer the monstrous Chimera. This bond symbolized the Roman virtues of valor, perseverance, and the aspiration for elevated deeds. Although the myth included a warning about humility (Bellerophon's fall), Pegasus himself was immortalized by Zeus as a constellation, solidifying his status as an icon of noble grace and ethereal strength.
