Philipp Munsteiner: Amethyst/Citrine ‘Dragon’s Egg’ Ring

Philipp Munsteiner remarkable ‘Dragon Egg’ ring is a 31.03 carat ametrine set in 18K yellow gold with a diamond accent. The ring measures 3/4″ x 1-1/8″ x 3/8″ above the hand and is size 7.

The “Dragon Egg” cut is inspired by the fantasy story “Eragon” by Christopher Paolini. In the story, the dragon egg chooses its rider itself and only hatches when it has found the right rider. Fascinated and inspired by this, Philipp came up with the idea of cutting “dragon eggs”. When moved, the cutting reveals the inside or the growing dragon. Teeth, claws and scales are revealed in all their primeval beauty in the light. Who will be their dragon rider?
