Pae White Designs Limited-Edition Vhernier Rings Inspired by Sea Ranch

Artist Pae White has created a 10-design limited-edition ring collection for Milan-based jewelry maison Vhernier, drawing on childhood memories of Sea Ranch, a utopian artists' community in Sonoma County, California. White, who visited Sea Ranch in the 1970s, was inspired by the architecture of crustaceans and abalone shells, which she has often incorporated into her installations and tapestries. The collaboration began when White noticed Vhernier's door handle, cast in bronze as a crab. Each ring uses sapphires and diamonds set in white or rose gold, overlaid with rock crystal to create shifting light effects. Only two versions of each design will be produced, emphasizing rarity. The collection features shades of cerulean, violet, and bottle green.
