Suspension Ring No. 9 - Eclipse

Amber and Diamond in Silver with Perlage

Inspired by the celestial drama of the August 2026 solar eclipse, this piece translates an astronomical alignment into wearable sculpture. A golden, inclusion-rich amber cabochon sits suspended within parallel sterling silver rails, while a bezel-set brilliant-cut diamond rests upon the upper rim—evoking the iconic "diamond ring effect" just as totality breaks.

The suspension series is an exploration of negative space with open structures that create the perception that the gemstone exists independently within the metal.

How the idea developed

Inspired by the rigour and engineering of mechanical watch movements, the suspension series creates a framework which holds gems and other materials gently suspended within the metal.

The challenge: Setting the diamond in a tube on a narrow plate whilst maintaining structural integrity.
