The inspiration for the Sibilo Ring came directly from the gemstone itself. The designers were captivated by the deep and rare blue/green tone of the Brazilian tourmaline, and they wanted to create a ring that would emphasize its beauty and color. The result is a design that allows the gem to take center stage.
One of the standout features of the Sibilo Ring is its simplicity. The neutral tone of the 18K white gold band serves as a clean surface that reflects the color of the tourmaline, drawing attention to its vibrant hues. The tension setting of the ring ensures that no other element competes with the gem, allowing it to shine as the main attraction. This tension setting, while challenging to execute, adds a unique touch to the design.
The Sibilo Ring is meticulously crafted using a metal forging process. The 18K white gold band provides a sturdy and luxurious foundation for the gemstone. With a weight of 24g and dimensions of 15mm in width, 22mm in depth, and 22mm in height, this ring is a statement piece that demands attention.
Designed and produced in São Paulo, Brazil, the Sibilo Ring took approximately three weeks to complete. The designers, Fabio Brazil and Henrique Murgel, worked diligently to ensure that every detail of the ring was perfect, from the tension setting to the fit of the tourmaline.
The Sibilo Ring has received recognition for its exceptional design. In 2014, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.
The Sibilo Ring is a stunning example of how simplicity can enhance the beauty of a gemstone. With its clean design and attention to detail, this ring is a true work of art that showcases the rare and captivating colors of the Brazilian tourmaline.
