Some jewellery is simply worn.
Some are admired for its brilliance alone.
And then there are creations like this — pieces that transcend adornment, inviting you to pause, to feel, to truly experience the artistry and meaning they hold.
A Sculpture for the Hand
At its heart, this ring holds a special-cut citrine, warm and luminous, its golden hue rich with natural depth. Surrounding it, brilliant-cut diamonds catch the light like dewdrops on a clear morning — a delicate counterpoint to the citrine’s bold presence.
The intricate setting is what elevates this piece from fine jewellery to wearable art. Hand-forged leaves unfurl to cradle the stone, each vein, curve, and contour shaped with the precision of a master goldsmith. From this nest, sculpted branches flow seamlessly into the band — not merely supporting the stone, but becoming part of its story.
Where Craft Meets Nature
In true Rudolf Heltzel tradition, every detail is deliberate. The leaves are not mere motifs; they are hand-sculpted with the accuracy of a botanical study. The branches are more than ornament; they create balance, strength, and an effortless fit so the piece sits naturally on the hand. This is handcrafted fine jewellery in conversation with nature: form with function, beauty with strength, detail with restraint.
A Ring to Connect With
This is not a ring to wear without thought.
It’s a ring to observe, to hold in your hand when the world feels hurried. It asks you to notice the way light travels across the citrine and dances with the diamonds, to feel the smooth texture of the leaves beneath your fingertips, to connect with the intention that shaped it.
It’s a piece that rewards attention, reminding us that true beauty is in the details.
The Heltzel Way
Like all creations from our Kilkenny atelier, this ring is more than metal and stone. It is the result of a careful and considered process — one that respects the natural materials, honours traditional techniques, and embraces the belief that beauty matters because it awakens, connects, and endures.
Private Viewing
This ring is one of a kind and available for viewing by appointment.
To experience it in person is to understand why it was made.
