NOVA Radiant Burst Ring, White Gold, Rose-cut Diamonds and Ceramic Enamel

A star does not blaze. A star keeps. There is a quality of light that the sun, for all its magnificence, cannot produce. It is the quality a star produces: a light that has travelled for so long before arriving that by the time it reaches the observer it has become, in a sense, philosophical.

A star's brilliance is not an event. It is a discipline. It is intensity and calm held together in the same instant, and it is this duality, more than any other single idea, that NOVA was designed to wear upon the body.

Some stars stand alone. Others only speak in company. Look up at any real night sky and you will see that stars exist in two registers. There are the great single stars, the solitary burning bodies that anchor a quadrant of sky by their own intensity alone. And there are the constellations.
