An extraordinary oversized evil-eye statement ring in quintessential Carol Brodie Rarities style: bold, exotic, richly layered and unapologetically dramatic.
The spectacular eye-shaped face is composed of concentric fields of blue gemstones, creating remarkable depth and tonal variation. At the center sits a luminous oval blue topaz, surrounded by layers of blue sapphires ranging visually from vivid ocean blue to deep midnight tones. A brilliant border of white zircon traces the entire sculptural eye silhouette and provides striking contrast against the saturated blues.
The darkened setting beneath the blue gemstones intensifies their color and gives the surface an almost three-dimensional quality, while the polished rhodium-plated sterling silver construction provides a beautiful counterpoint.
The reverse is every bit as impressive. An elaborate openwork undergallery supports the oversized gemstone face with an airy, architectural lattice design, allowing light to enter beneath the stones while showcasing the craftsmanship from every angle.
This is a true statement-scale Carol Brodie piece. The face measures approximately 35 mm x 25 mm (1.38\" x 0.98\"), creating tremendous presence on the hand without losing the refined proportions of the eye motif.
