Platinum-Silver Alloy, Meteorite, 18k Yellow Gold, Diamond

Kain's Dominion Rings feature meteorites nestled in a throne of 18k rose gold and a silver platinum alloy. The Saturnalia Ring is streaked with 18k yellow gold and christened with a diamond, referencing the ancient Roman festival in honour of Saturn. This work is a unique piece within an edition of 30 and is exclusively available with Carpenters Workshop Jewellery.

Kain’s artistic style, which he describes as "Techno Surrealism," blends ancient and modern elements. His choice of materials, such as meteorites, reflects his fascination with the journey through time and space, inspired by childhood visits to the Natural History Museum. Influenced by artists like Gustave Moreau and his mother, who worked as an artist under the name ‘Capucine’, his work reaches an otherworldly space, the process guided by the materials he uses - each stone dictating the final form. He envisions his work evolving into living spaces, bringing the museum experience home. Inspired by philosophical concepts like Abraxas - the Gnostic deity of coexist duality, the more you learn the less you know, his designs embody the duality of existence.

Artist Biography

Paris Kain is a multimedia artist and jewellery designer born and raised in New York City. As his father was an acclaimed inventor and his mother a master enamelist, the fine arts seemed a natural life path. After spending the night inside the King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza, Kain was immediately drawn to ancient history and sacred geometry, an interest that has taken him around the globe, inspiring much of his work.
