Cupid rides the waves on a creature half-calf, half-fish, reins held loosely between his fingers, wings spread above the composition, the tail of this mythological creature closing the circle — an entire journey within a bezel. A subject the Romans loved: love in motion, inexhaustible, always ready to push toward open water.
In the round bezel of the LUXOR ring the volumes are worked with a precision that makes the cameo almost a miniature bas-relief — the carving is generous and detailed, the shadows shifting to reveal new particulars at each glance. The richness of the detail multiplies the longer one looks.
The solidity of 18kt gilded bronze — its lost-wax casting has preserved the organic quality of the metal — anchors everything to the finger with real weight. The bezel, slightly raised, gives the figures room to breathe within the circular frame. Every wave of this sea yet to be discovered. The GTc signature is engraved in the bronze, born with the jewel.
The colour variants open four directions. Yellow is the energy of the sun illuminating the waters — Cupid in full light, an intensity that makes this myth immediate, contemporary. Red is the colour of courage and passion — for what one loves, for the paths one chooses. Green is the colour of flourishing nature — the same depth as ancient stones, the ever-living matter of the world from which love arrives. Violet is the most gathered note — introspection, the moment when what is felt becomes understanding.
The Sea Cupid keeps moving — across the water and across the centuries. That drive, that ancient joy of moving free: intact, irresistible.

SIZE GUIDE
Find your size
Simple steps to measure the correct size of your finger:
- Measure your finger at the end of the day;
- Do not measure your finger when it is either too hot or too cold;
- Don’t forget that our hands are not identical, and that a ring that might fit on a finger on our left hand might not fit on the same finger on our right hand;
- Please be sure to check that your selected size slides along the full length of your finger.
To measure the circumference of your finger, you can use a taylor’s tape measure, or take a look at our video demonstration for another technique (which will require a ring that fits on your selected finger.) This size corresponds to the circumference, which you must use to find your corresponding appropriate size. (S - M - L - XL)

Cupid on Sea Calf
Let love take you in new directions.
In Roman mythology, Cupid (Latin cupido, meaning “desire”) is the god of desire, affection and erotic love. He is often portrayed as the son of the goddess Venus, with a father rarely mentioned. His Greek counterpart is Eros. Cupid is also known in Latin as Amor (“Love”). The Amores (plural) or amorini in the later terminology of art history are the equivalent of the Greek Erotes. Although Eros appears in Classical Greek art as a slender winged youth, during the Hellenistic period he was increasingly portrayed as a chubby boy. During this time, his iconography acquired the bow and arrow that remain a distinguishing attribute; a person, or even a deity, who is shot by Cupid’s arrow is filled with uncontrollable desire. The Roman Cupid retains these characteristics, which continue in the depiction of multiple cupids in both Roman art and the later classical tradition of Western art. Cupid’s ability to compel love and desire plays an instigating role in several myths or literary scenarios. In Vergil’s Aeneid, Cupid prompts Dido to fall in love with Aeneas, with tragic results. Ovid makes Cupid the patron of love poets. Cupid is a central character, however, in only the traditional tale of Cupid and Psyche, as told by Apuleius. Cupid was a continuously popular figure in the Middle Ages, when under Christian influence he often had a dual nature as Heavenly and Earthly love, and in the Renaissance, when a renewed interest in classical philosophy endowed him with complex allegorical meanings. In contemporary popular culture, Cupid is shown shooting his bow to inspire romantic love, often as an icon of Valentine’s Day.
