Cocktail Gemstone Ring Inspired by Persian Architecture


Carri Vacik's jewelry is exotic, distinctly look and vibrant colors. Her "Istahan"
cocktail ring inspired by Persian architecture is for the woman related to the power, success, and confidence. The cabochon center stone is an amazonite embracing with iolite cabochons in a gold setting.
"Istahan" ring reminds me of the Sahara desert, the land of oil and wealth, and the
mysterious but beautiful eyes under veil.
