Ileana Makri Dawn Chevalier 18kt gold ring with diamonds and sapphires

Ileana Makri’s designs are informed by a world of symbolism and positive energy. The Dawn Chevalier ring reinterprets the ancient evil eye talisman through a lens of modern luxury, creating a piece that is both a protective emblem and a sophisticated statement for the contemporary wardrobe.

The art of the detail

This statement ring is meticulously rendered from 18kt white gold, polished to a bright, silver-toned metallic finish. The design's face is richly embellished with pavé-set gemstones, featuring round-cut white diamonds that form the eye’s outline, a black diamond at its center, and a halo of brilliant blue sapphires. The substantial band provides a comfortable and secure presence, completing a design of intricate composition. The handmade quality ensures each detail contributes to its unique character, making it a powerful focal point.

How to wear

Wear the Dawn Chevalier ring as the singular, defining element of a professional look, pairing it with a crisp poplin shirt and tailored wool trousers for daytime engagements. For an evening affair or formal dinner, allow it to stand alone against a minimalist silk slip dress or a velvet blazer. Its concentrated brilliance and symbolic design serve as an immediate point of interest, complementing both monochromatic palettes and more vibrant ensembles. The ring’s scale makes it an ideal counterpart to understated earrings, ensuring a balanced and refined appearance.
