Illuminated Manuscript Ring - Celestial Blue Stone

Description

Heritage Inspiration Illuminations, the jewels of medieval manuscripts from the 12th to 15th centuries, were born in scriptoria of abbeys like Saint-Denis or Cluny, where monks and artists applied gold leaf and rare pigments to adorn Bibles and books of hours. The blue stone, often costly Afghan lapis lazuli, embodied the Virgin's mantle or celestial firmament - a transcendental blue symbolizing divine purity and royalty. This ring, from the Centre des Monuments Nationaux' Illuminated Manuscript collection, transposes this tradition with artisanal delicacy, turning your finger into a living illuminated page.
