Le Ballerine Black Agate

Le Ballerine di Degas Black Agate Ring

“There is nothing that is not made easier through perseverance and familiarity and training. We can change thanks to training; we can transform ourselves.”

Ballerine Ring: Silvia Kelly’s Homage to the Star and Black Agate

In the heart of Silvia Kelly’s goldsmith workshop on Lake Como, where craftsmanship meets artistic inspiration, the Ballerine Ring is born. This jewel is not a simple decoration, but a wearable sculpture, a tribute to the timeless grace of Degas’s ballerinas and the magnetic power of Black Agate.

The Essence of Black Agate and Organic Design

Black Agate is the undisputed protagonist of this creation. Known for its grounding properties and nocturnal allure, the stone is crafted here to reflect light with a sober yet decisive elegance.
The choice of this gemstone is no coincidence: Black Agate symbolizes protection and stability, offering a perfect contrast to the dynamic design that surrounds it.
The ring’s structure, crafted with Silvia Kelly’s unmistakable “material” style, appears to move around the finger. The 18K rose and white gold don’t just support the stone, they embrace it like the tulle of a tutu swirling during a performance at the Paris Opera. It’s a play of solids and voids, of rough textures and smooth surfaces, that makes each piece unique, reflecting the essence of Italian craftsmanship.

A Geo-Inspired Jewelry Between Tradition and Modernity

Wearing the Ballerine Ring with Black Agate means carrying a piece of Italian goldsmith excellence. Every detail is carefully crafted to resonate with a conscious femininity that seeks narrative as well as aesthetic value in jewelry. Whether you’re wandering the historic streets of Milan or in an international context, this ring stands out for its ability to be a discreet yet unforgettable presence.
The depth of the Black Agate allows for versatile pairings: perfect for finishing off a formal outfit, yet incredibly sophisticated when paired with more minimalist looks. For those seeking a harmonious ensemble, we recommend exploring the collection’s complementary geometries, such as the luminous purity of the Marina Agata Bianca Bracelet, which creates a striking black and white contrast.
From the selection of the black agate to the final polishing of the gold, every step is a celebration of authentic beauty. Wear the finest Italian craftsmanship and be captivated by the timeless allure of a piece created just for you.
