I made a visit to the Aaron Faber Gallery on Fifth Avenue earlier this month, having received an invitation to preview the jewelry of designers from Quebec. While many of the designs were creative, innovative and fresh, the creations of...
Pino’s rings are miniature works of architecture that incorporate movement into geometric shapes. Aptly named the Kinetic Rings Collection, the pieces I saw incorporate 14-karat gold, silver and gemstones.
“In this collection, I add meticulous mechanisms to give the stone set the freedom to follow the owner’s movements, reflecting the wearer in many small, intricate ways,” Pino said. “My rings come alive only when they find their owners.”
Pino’s “Infinity” ring is made in 14-karat gold and sterling silver with moonstone, diamonds and ruby.
