Cactus Ring

Cactus

Cactus is a cocktail ring for women, part of the Japanese Garden collection. The ring is made of 18K gold and set with a 12.03 carat Ural cabochon emerald that shows a cat's eye effect. Smaller emeralds and diamonds complete the setting. All surfaces are finished, including the needles, which are joined to one another and form an even plane that holds the central emerald. The assembly is complex and demands careful handwork. The Japanese Garden collection presents the inhabitants of a traditional Japanese garden and is inspired by paintings by Japanese artists.

Cactus Ring by Sergey Izmestiev was identified as an outstanding illustration of fashion design by the A' Design Awards. Cactus Ring received the Golden A' Design Award in Jewelry Design in 2022. The A' Jewelry Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition which rewards exceptional design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
