Sirius with cognac-coloured tourmaline

Craft and form

This ring from the Sirius collection is crafted in 14-karat yellow gold and set with an oval-cut cognac-colored tourmaline measuring 8 x 6 mm (1.20 ct). The ring band has a pronounced hammer finish with horizontal strokes and is then polished. This combination of texture and shine creates a subtle contrast that beautifully distributes light across the surface. This gives the ring a lively and warm character.

The colour and depth of the stone

Tourmaline has a deep, warm cognate tone with nuances of copper, honey, and reddish-brown. That colour results from traces of iron and manganese in the crystal structure of the stone. Depending on the light, tourmaline exhibits different shades, ranging from soft golden brown to deeper orange-brown. Thus, a distinct glow emerges each time.

Cognac-coloured tourmalines are loved for their natural warmth. They combine effortlessly with yellow gold, giving a piece of jewellery a classic yet contemporary look. Moreover, this colour exudes tranquillity and stability – qualities that complement the character of the Sirius collection nicely.

The meaning of Sirius

The name Sirius came about after a visit with my family to the observatory in Lochem. There, an astronomer told us about the star Sirius – the brightest star in our sky and part of the constellation Canis Major, the Great Dog. In ancient cultures, this star symbolised brightness, direction and return. As I listened, I thought of the rings I had been making for some time: one stone, one source of light. That’s why I knew this collection had to be called Sirius.

Timeless elegance

The Sirius collection represents clean lines, powerful shapes and gemstones with meaning. Each piece of jewellery is made entirely by hand in the Beltrum atelier.. The recognisable granules and careful finish give balance and detail to each design. This creates the recognizable Kobak signature in which craft and timeless design come together.

This ring is a timeless choice for those who love color, craftsmanship and a piece of jewelry with character. She is designed to be worn as well as passed on.
