The same profile seen from the other side — Minerva with the face turned to the left. If the right-facing version is the moment of decision, this is the thought that precedes it — a more reflective nuance of the same features. The owl carved into the helmet — Minerva's emblem of seeing clearly in darkness — is visible from this angle. The 18kt gold-plated bronze carving preserves the same precision, but the three plexiglass bases give the story an unprecedented lightness.
The round bezel distributes light evenly across the entire relief — the profile reads from every angle. The ring is lighter than it looks, worn with fluidity. The GTc signature is engraved on the bezel.
On transparent, the profile floats on the hand — Minerva suspended, the thought that precedes decision becoming weightless: orange is creative energy, vitality and warmth; white is sculptural truth, every line in full evidence; black is the strength of basalt, the carving monumental; pearl is soft and luminous, a quiet light enhancing the relief. On black, the graphic contrast brings out every detail of the helmet and features — the profile in full definition: orange warms the dark backdrop with force; white creates the sharpest contrast; black on black is the most intense version, almost a sculpture of shadow; pearl illuminates with delicacy. On tortoiseshell, the striations of the plexiglass change from piece to piece — a simulated natural material making every ring unique before even choosing the colour: orange vibrates among the warm tones; white brightens them; black strengthens them; pearl enhances them. Every combination renews the expression.
Two profiles, two perspectives, the same intelligence — the moment of reflection on a material that lightens it.
