Have a question? Or an idea for customising this piece?
The Akna Ring is a resplendent homage to the Mayan goddess of fertility and childbirth, seamlessly blending mythic symbolism with refined craftsmanship. Meticulously handcrafted in London from recycled precious metal, this exquisite piece draws inspiration from the austere elegance of Mayan architecture and the profound narratives woven into its mythology. The ring’s double-blade design frames a scintillating central diamond, held with a warrior-like tiger claw setting in a cross configuration—evoking both strength and sacred protection. Flanking this centrepiece, are two emerald-cut white diamonds gracefully set between the twin bands, enhancing the ring’s architectural sophistication. The Akna Ring is a masterful expression of heritage and artistry, where ancient legend meets timeless elegance.
The diamond used in this design is natural, ethically sourced, and GIA-certified. The ring is tested and hallmarked by the London Assay office. For those who desire further personalisation, we offer the option to customise this ring with a diamond or gemstone of varying shapes and sizes, creating a bespoke masterpiece tailored to your vision.
