A contemporary interpretation of the East Timorese Belak medallion, created as a distinctive gemstone ring symbolising courage and strength.
This ring reimagines the circular form of the Belak as a modern piece of everyday jewellery. A natural 4mm gemstone sits within the raised circular setting, creating a striking contrast between the open form of the ring and the vivid colour of the gemstone.
The result is a piece that carries meaning without feeling overly traditional — a contemporary interpretation of a cultural symbol, designed to be worn and lived in.
Wear it as a personal reminder of courage, strength and the moments you've overcome, or give it to someone whose bravery deserves to be celebrated.
Detals:
Sterling silver or 24 carat gold vermeil
Natural round gemstone, approx. 4mm
Available gemstones include natural emerald, garnet, ruby, peridot, and blue topaz. Please select your preferred gemstone from the options above.
Handmade in Brighton
Made to order
Production time: silver 1–5 working days; gold vermeil 5–10 working days
