Vera
- Sourced Responsibly
Our Vera Ring (named after Vera Rubin and her revolutionary discoveries about galaxy rotation and dark matter), features a sophisticated curved arrangement of brilliant round diamonds set in warm yellow gold with delicate beaded detailing. This elegant design showcases exceptional craftsmanship with precisely positioned diamonds that follow a graceful arc, each stone surrounded by tiny golden beads that catch and reflect light like distant stars. The curved formation creates a sense of cosmic movement and harmony, whilst the beaded accents add texture and visual interest to the overall design. The comfortable band and secure settings make this ring perfect for daily wear, creating a celestial pattern of light that mirrors the beautiful spiral arms of galaxies. Perfect for those who appreciate both cosmic beauty and scientific discovery.

The comfortable band and secure settings make this ring perfect for daily wear, creating a celestial pattern of light that mirrors the beautiful spiral arms of galaxies. Perfect for those who appreciate both cosmic beauty and scientific discovery. This ring has been named after the remarkable Dr. Vera Rubin, a pioneering American astronomer whose groundbreaking research fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe and revealed the existence of dark matter. Born Vera Cooper on July 23, 1928, in Philadelphia, Rubin developed a passion for astronomy as a child, building her own telescope with her father's help and spending nights observing the stars from her bedroom window. Working alongside colleague Kent Ford at the Carnegie Institution in the 1960s and 70s, Rubin made precise measurements of how stars moved within spiral galaxies, expecting to find that outer stars moved more slowly than inner ones, just like planets in our solar system. Instead, she discovered that stars in the outer regions of galaxies were moving just as fast as those near the centre - a phenomenon that should have caused galaxies to fly apart, but didn't. Her meticulous observations of over 200 galaxies provided the first convincing evidence that vast amounts of invisible "dark matter" must exist throughout the universe, making up more than 80% of all matter and holding galaxies together through its gravitational influence. Just as Vera Rubin revealed the hidden forces that shape our universe's most beautiful structures, the diamonds in this ring follow their own elegant gravitational dance around the band, making her the perfect namesake for a ring that celebrates both the seen and unseen forces that create cosmic beauty.
