There are images that cross centuries keeping their freshness fully intact. In this cameo, the doves come to life through a deep and playful relief, transforming a historical vision into an extraordinarily three-dimensional composition. The birds' bodies are defined with such strength that they appear almost suspended: they emerge beyond the bezel's edge while remaining part of the whole, inhabiting the space with a naturalness that surprises.
The body of the ring in plexiglass is full in volume and surprisingly light. The coloured base emphasises the relief and converses with the gold-plated bronze bezel — three elements in harmony that give this composition an immediate presence on the finger.
The expressiveness of these figures springs from their liveliness and the deep joy they communicate. These doves, just as Pliny described them, represent an emotion of peace and harmony. They are together, playing, and in a gesture of total sharing, drinking from the same cup, celebrating the union and the happiness of existing in the same moment.
White returns the doves to their purest form — it is their natural colour. Sky blue brings air, the breath of open sky around the figures. Green recalls the earth, a freshness that lets the composition breathe. Porphyry is earth too, deeper, more ancient. Black gives the subject an absolute depth — tone on tone it becomes abstraction, with a different colour it becomes sharp contrast. Pink softens the figures. Orange ignites a vivid complementary with the sky-blue intaglio. The dialogue between the plexiglass base and the relief transforms everything each time — suspended between history and the pleasure of wearing it today.

A mosaic from Hadrian’s Villa, now in the Capitoline Museums, depicts a group of doves on a round bowl. As described by Pliny, one dove is drinking while the others are sunning themselves. The Doves of Pliny, or the Capitoline Doves depicts the doves artistically but realistically. The mosaic is made only of cubes of colored marble, without any colored glass as in other mosaics. It was discovered in 1737 during excavations at Hadrian’s Villa led by Cardinal Giuseppe Alessandro Furietti, who thought it was the mosaic that Pliny had described, although other scholars think it is a copy of the original that was made for Hadrian. The Hadrian’s villa mosaic has in turn been copied many times in many formats. Musei Capitolini – Roma
