Description

The Carapace Knuckle Ring Scorpion – Rhodium Vermeil is a bold expression of protection and transformation.

Defined by its sculptural dome, the ring features a meticulously detailed scorpion emerging across its surface. The organic curvature of the band contrasts with the precision of the motif, creating a powerful visual tension between fluid form and intricate structure.

Crafted from solid 925 sterling silver and finished in luminous rhodium vermeil, the piece reflects light with a mirror-like intensity. Its smooth, rounded silhouette is designed to sit comfortably across the finger, while the raised scorpion detail introduces depth, symbolism, and a striking sense of identity.

Handcrafted in Portugal, the ring captures the essence of controlled rebellion — a signature balance of strength, sensuality, and refined craftsmanship.

Design Philosophy

This piece explores armour and instinct.

The domed surface acts as a protective shell, while the scorpion represents resilience, transformation, and quiet power. Together, they form a piece that feels both defensive and expressive — a sculptural object that carries symbolic weight.

Symbolism

Often associated with resilience and regeneration, it represents the ability to evolve and adapt. Its presence on the ring reinforces the piece’s protective, armour-like form.

Natural variations in handcrafted detailing ensure each piece is unique.

Care

Plated jewellery has a thin layer of precious metal over another solid metal, which can rub off with constant contact with your skin. Continual exposure to sweat, water, perfumes, and chemicals found in toiletries can tarnish plated jewellery. To extend the life of your plated pieces, follow these simple care instructions:

  • Always take your plated jewellery off before sleeping to avoid friction against your skin.
  • Keep your jewellery dry. If it gets wet, wipe it immediately with a paper towel.
  • Avoid contact with chemicals like chlorine, nail polish remover, soaps, or perfumes, as these can damage the metal coating.
  • Remove your jewellery before intense physical activity to prevent exposure to sweat.
  • Store each piece in a separate plastic bag to reduce tarnishing and prevent the thin plated layer from rubbing or scratching.

Frequently asked questions

 1. What metals does Alan Crocetti use?

All pieces are crafted in 925 sterling silver. Some are finished with gold plating for warmth or rhodium plating for extra brightness and protection.

2. Are pearls real?

YES. Alan Crocetti uses cultured pearls in natural white, pink, black, and lavender. Each pearl is unique and adds softness to the sculptural design. The brand also uses Mother of Pearl, valued for its iridescent glow and refined exclusivity.

3. Are lab-grown gemstones used?

YES. Alan Crocetti uses lab-created emeralds, rubies, moissanite, and diamonds. They have the same brilliance and chemistry as natural gems in their purest form, and are produced sustainably and ethically — affirming their place within fine jewellery.

4 What are semi-precious stones?

Semi-precious stones are natural gems used for their beauty and symbolic value. In Alan Crocetti collections, these include:

• Amethyst (purple): creativity, protection

• Citrine (yellow): joy, abundance

• Topaz (blue/yellow): clarity, strength

• Onyx (black): grounding, power

• Peridot (green): renewal, growth

• Garnet (red): passion, vitality

5. What is zirconia, and what quality is used?

Zirconia (cubic zirconia, CZ) is a lab-created diamond alternative. Alan Crocetti uses only 5A grade zirconia, the highest quality: flawless clarity, precision cut, and diamond like brilliance.

• Colours used: clear, black, blue, green, red, pink, purple, yellow.

6. Can clients adjust or bend the jewellery to fit?

Although sterling silver is a malleable metal, we do not recommend pressing, bending, or pulling pieces to adjust them. This can weaken soldering points, loosen stones, or distort the design.

Key Note: Each piece is handcrafted as a sculpture. If resizing or adjustments are needed, recommend professional service instead of forcing the piece.
