ABOUT
Keystone, medieval ring in sterling silver
The keystone, this iconic architectural element, embodies cohesion and strength within a complex structure. In Gothic architecture, it stands as the centerpiece, gracefully supporting the junction of ribs and arches, symbolizing stability at the heart of the building.
During the Gothic era, these keystones were jewels in grand architectures, defying gravity with captivating lightness. They were often adorned with sculpted or painted motifs, drawing the eye and captivating the imagination of visitors through majestic archways.
The keystone thus represents what each individual should aspire to be in our society: a solid pillar, capable of supporting others and inspiring them in turn to become pillars in their own way.
This ring draws inspiration from the very essence of this Gothic architectural element. Rich in symbolism, it is ideal for sealing a meaningful marriage or commitment. Its design evokes the delicate floral decorations one might find on keystones in medieval churches or monasteries, reflecting the elegance and spirituality of the era.
Carefully engraved, this ring features a botanical frieze forming a succession of flowered crosses, reminiscent of the values and convictions of noble knights of yore. By wearing this ring, you carry with you not only a symbol of commitment but also a tribute to medieval history and heritage, where strength and beauty were intimately intertwined in every architectural detail.
