Ignis Vitae

The Fire Within

The Ignis Vitae collection embodies the eternal flame of creation, passion, rebirth, and transformation. It draws from the elemental energy of fire as both destroyer and giver of life, the spark that forges metal, the heat that fuels change. Each piece feels alive, sculpted from molten gold frozen in motion, with gemstones that pulse with inner light.

This is fire made tangible, designed for the modern luxury client who commands presence and power through sensual intensity.

Design Philosophy:

 

Form Language: Fluid, asymmetric, and kinetic — like flame captured mid-dance.

​

Silhouette: Sculptural yet wearable; wraps, twists, and flickers around the body.

​

Surface Treatment: A contrast of molten polish and satin matte finishes to evoke the glow and shadow of firelight.

​

Movement: Pieces that seem to flow — articulated joints, twisting bands, and gemstone arrangements that radiate outward from a central heat source.

Materials & Gemstones:

​

Metals: 18k rose gold and yellow gold, sometimes combined for a “flame gradient.”

​

Gemstones:

  • Rubellite – deep magenta fire, symbolizing emotional passion.

  • Orange sapphire – pure flame hue, radiating energy and vitality.

  • Spinel – fiery brilliance with strength and depth.
