Cosmic Creation and Renewal

Part of the the Constellations Collection, the Heart Nebula Tourmaline & White Diamond Gold Ring connects the wearer to Shetland’s celestial vistas and the boundless cosmos.

The Heart Nebula is a glowing stellar nursery where new stars are formed. It embodies cosmic creation, growth, and renewal, whilst its heart shape symbolises timeless love. Mirroring these themes is the pear shaped verdant green tourmaline at the ring’s centre - a gem cherished for its ties to creativity, vitality and abundance. Historically believed to form from rainbows, this gemstone represents creativity, well-being, and the cycle of life’s regeneration. As a reminder of life’s journey, the tourmaline beautifully embodies the nebula’s spirit of creation and renewal.

Star Clusters

The asymmetrical cluster of white diamonds surrounding the central green tourmaline evokes the Heart Nebula’s star cluster, capturing its vibrant formation in a wearable form. These diamonds are infused with cosmic energy, reflecting the nebula’s ongoing creation and vitality. The dynamic arrangement makes this design truly celestial.

The varying sizes of diamonds surrounding the green tourmaline reflect the diverse star masses within the Heart Nebula. Larger diamonds symbolise bright, powerful stars, while smaller ones represent gentler, fainter stars, creating a harmonious balance in the design.

Radiant Energy in Diamond Arcs

The diamonds arcing along the platinum shank mirror the Heart Nebula’s expansive, flowing shape, radiating outward like cosmic waves. This exquisite detail captures the nebula’s diffuse energy and dynamic vibrancy, echoing its grandeur and movement.

Warm Glow of the Gold Setting

Crafted in luxurious 18ct yellow gold, the ring’s setting reflects the warm, reddish tones of ionised hydrogen gas in the Heart Nebula. This rich hue enhances the brilliance of the green tourmaline and white diamonds, evoking the nebula’s celestial glow and cosmic warmth.
