Joan Miró gold and black circle ring

The shape of this elegant yet unusual ring will be familiar to long-time admirers of the work of Joan Miró – it’s inspired by his 1941 painting, Chiffres et constellations amoureux d'une femme.

A large gold oval sits opposite a smaller, black enamel circle to make up the open faced ring. Its distinctive shape means that it can be adjusted slightly by opening or closing the front to fit your finger of choice, which also makes it useful when buying as a gift for someone.

Plated with 24 carat matte gold, it’s a timelessly chic piece of wearable art that you’ll enjoy for years to come. Your jewellery arrives specially packaged in a keepsake box, with a card explaining more about the artwork that inspired the earrings.

Joidart are a family-owned business creating contemporary jewellery in collaboration with artists and jewellers. Their studios are close to the Mediterranean coast, making jewellery that’s imbued with the essence of its creators and Mediterranean creativity.

About the artist

One of the most iconic artists of the twentieth century, Joan Miró’s engaging and richly coloured works are underpinned by a profound concern for humanity and the importance of liberty. Born in Barcelona in 1893, he moved to Paris in 1920 where he became an influential figure in the surrealist movement. However, his identity as a Catalan remained central to his work throughout his life. He responded to the turbulent times he lived through – escaping wartime France and living under the Franco regime in Spain – by developing a deeply personal language of signs and symbols that he used throughout his long career.
