Hypatia of Alexandria was a defiant philosopher and mathematician. Known as one of the last great thinkers of the ancient world, and one of the first women to study and teach mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy, she is an enduring icon of resilience and audacity.
Hypatia's life was tragically cut short when she was murdered by a mob of Christian zealots - a grim testament to the hostility faced by women who dared to challenge the status quo and seek knowledge. Yet, her legacy survived, inspiring countless generations of women to pursue their ambitions fearlessly.
Hypatia's detailed profile, sculpted in molten solid gold, adorns this solid gold signet ring.
Wear this unique piece to celebrate Hypatia and let her story inspire you to break barriers, challenge norms, and pursue your passions relentlessly.
Solid gold is the best option if you:
1. Want to wear your piece forever or pass it down as an heirloom. Solid gold will last for centuries without degrading.
2. Want to invest in jewelry as an asset rather than an accessory. Gold traditionally appreciates in value and can always be melted down and made into a new piece
Unlike many brands, our gold is never hollow - it is always 100% solid, cast using the lost wax method, meaning there is a lot more gold in each piece.
Our gold is 100% certified recycled and each piece is handcrafted here in New York.
