Zodiac Signs according to Ella Gafter

The zodiac signs and some astrological symbols have inspired the latest limited collection of jewels of the New Yorker Ella Gafter. A line of 12 gold rings made by hand, each one representing an astrological sign, set with diamonds, pearls and precious stones that give a new degree of sophistication to the spiritual world.

Diamonds give form to figures like Pisces, the billy goat symbol of Capricorn, the crab of Cancer or the scorpion of Scorpio, among others. Forms that complete the group with Tahitian pearls, sapphires or rubies. Because zodiac signs give us clues about towards where our characters go, Ella Gafter's rings collection becomes the perfect present for all those women who love their sign.

The most used material in this firm's history are pearls, through which it reflects its passion for jewelry, but above all, its declared passion for extremes, of beauty, of intrinsic vaue, of brilliant craftsmanship... Without doubt, this is what has made her create pieces of an extreme quality as those of this collection, that for ecxample in 2002 made her win the Tahitian Pearl Trophy.

Born in Poland, Ella Gafter has always designed and created her jewelry in a way that reminds the work of medieval and Renaissance craftsmen. Romanticism is not missing and through her jewels she talks about an exquisite sensitivity. Nowadays, Ella Gafter is associated with her daughter Talila, a business professional formed in Harvard who has achieved a great expansion of the firm's international presence.
