Boudica With Green Blue Tourmaline Ring | 14k Gold | Vena Amoris

The Romans believed a vein ran from the ring finger directly to the heart — vena amoris, the vein of love. Tesia Alexandra named her studio for that idea. The Boudica Ring is its most literal expression: a stone worn on the finger closest to the heart, chosen because it could not be anything else.

The Stone
Green-blue tourmaline occupies the spectrum between indicolite and Paraiba — a teal zone that most tourmalines never reach. Tourmaline is one of the most complex gemstones chemically, forming in more color combinations than any other mineral. The green-blue range is among the rarest because it requires a very specific balance of iron and copper during crystal growth. This stone was chosen because it sits in that balance and holds it.

The Metal
Set in 14k gold — finished entirely by hand in a Brooklyn studio. The Boudica setting wraps the stone in a simple, strong frame that keeps the focus entirely on the color. Recycled and conflict-free.

The Setting
The Boudica setting translates the necklace design into a ring: clean prongs, an open gallery, a low profile. It was designed to sit well on the hand and not compete with the stone it holds. The stone is always the point.
