Nuit Absolue Ring Mckella 18k gold-plated

A solitary onyx—faceted to the depth of a moonless midnight—rests enthroned in molten prongs of 18k gold-plated stainless steel. This piece presents a masterclass in geometric minimalism, utilizing the "open cuff" or "bypass" silhouette to create a sophisticated study in contrasts. The design balances two distinct forms across a gap of negative space: the dark, light-absorbing void of the oval onyx and the radiant, reflective perfection of a polished golden sphere.

This asymmetry is intentional, evoking the avant-garde spirit of modernist sculpture where balance is achieved through visual weight rather than symmetry. The black-and-gold palette offers a timeless, high-contrast aesthetic that is both dramatic and versatile. The open band curves in quiet tension, allowing the motifs to float against the skin while providing an adjustable, ergonomic fit. Enigmatic yet sovereign, this shadowed solitaire is mystery distilled into silence, a whispered void worn against the pulse, perfect for the woman who commands attention without speaking a word.
