Description

The Raptor Ring distils Alan Crocetti’s fluid minimalism into a sculptural, talon-like form that wraps the finger with quiet intensity.

Its sweeping, aerodynamic curves evoke motion and precision, creating a silhouette that feels instinctive yet controlled. The open structure enhances lightness and wearability, while maintaining a bold, directional presence.

Handcrafted in Portugal from solid 925 sterling silver, the ring is finished in your choice of rhodium vermeil for a cool, mirror-like clarity, or gold vermeil for a warm, luminous depth. Designed without boundaries, it functions as both a standalone statement and a seamless addition to a layered composition.

Presented in an Alan Crocetti gift box.


Design Philosophy

The Raptor Ring explores tension between softness and strength.

Its elongated curves mimic the natural line of a talon in motion — protective, precise, and fluid. The form wraps without closing, suggesting movement rather than containment, and allowing the piece to feel alive on the hand.

Minimal in construction yet expressive in gesture, it reflects a balance of control, instinct, and refined power.

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.
