The story of love and its trials finds an unexpected dimension on this ring. Cupid and Psyche on Dalmatian: the scene keeps all its grace — the joy of the encounter, the gestures, the closeness of the two figures — carried on a completely contemporary ground. The oval bezel holds the composition with breathing room, the glossy enamel seals the black and white over the bronze, and every detail of the intaglio reads clearly among the spots. A jewel that tells who you are.
This is one of the most beloved myths of Mediterranean culture — the force of feeling, the trials, the transformation, the return. Here the classical scene meets a lively, unpredictable ground, and the dialogue works: the story gains a note of verve, a freshness that makes it even more alive. To love one another in soul and body — on a ring that carries this promise with the ease of the present.
The black-and-white enamel acts as a second skin on the bronze — the spotted pattern wraps the bezel and transforms the classical scene into a graphic, contemporary object. The contrast is sharp: where white opens, black gathers, and the subject breathes between the two.
Black blends with the dark spots of the base — tone on tone, a decisive presence, the subject declares itself. Gold brings luminosity to the black and white: a golden note among the spots, the bezel resonating. Pearl echoes the white of the base — luminous and distilled, two lights recognising each other. Porphyry introduces depth and ancient glow on this lively ground — a full accord, a dense and generous note between the black and the white.

This legend tells us that Eros was always at his mother’s side assisting her in all her conniving and godly affairs. Aphrodite became jealous of the beauty of a mortal, a beautiful young woman named Psyche. In a fit of jealousy Aphrodite asked Eros to shoot his arrow into the heart of Psyche to make her fall in love with the ugliest man on earth. He agreed to carry out his mother’s wishes, but on seeing her beauty Eros fell deeply in love with Psyche himself. He would visit her every night, but he made himself invisible by telling Psyche not to light her chamber. Psyche fell in love with Eros even though she could not see him, until one night curiosity overcame her. She concealed a lamp and while Eros slept she lit the lamp, revealing the identity of Eros. But a drop of hot oil spilled from the lamp awakening the god. Angered that she had seen him Eros fled and the distraught Psyche roamed the earth trying in vain to find her lover. In the end Zeus took pity and reunited them, and he also gave his consent for them to marry. There are variations of this legend. Cupid and Psyche is a story from the Latin novel Metamorphoses, also known as The Golden Ass, written in the 2nd century AD by Apuleius.
