Three materials, one ring: the porosity of the cameo, the glow of the metal bezel, the velvety density of the enamel. The she-wolf is there — carried by the entire world for centuries. Bordeaux is one of Rome’s colours: it recalls porphyry, recalls the city’s deep purple-red, the interiors of its churches and palaces. On this ring the she-wolf is recognised at once, and the bordeaux accompanies her as the colour that is hers.

In cities across the world this animal stands for something deep and rooted, a story of foundation, of care, of protection. In this jewel she is the symbol of one of the narratives that belong to her. Her long body, held steady within the oval crown of the bezel, the twins at the far end moving, and she receives them. The smooth enamel coating the bronze wraps this scene in its density, and the cameo stands clear — the gold around it, the relief emerging, the material presence you can feel, the Lumen in its full expression. The weight of the piece is full, and its form perfectly follows the intaglio — everything holds together, everything is rendered. A ring of great scenic presence and accomplished elegance.

White is the sharpest contrast — the scene in full light, every detail clear and precise. Blue brings depth and distance: a full accord with the base, two tones that recognise each other. Sand is earthy, natural warmth — tone on tone, in her landscape. Green echoes the rarest marbles — and this intaglio seems worn smooth by time, here on this ring, with every colour.

All of Rome, held in a jewel, in the gesture of a hand.
