Erick and Ivania evoke the glints of the Guatemalan forests in this set of three wrap rings—made of crystals and glass beads. The team chooses the palette by drawing inspiration from the elements that compose those rich landscapes, shining in grey, green and iridescent hues.

Each ring has a flexible stainless steel structure that covers US sizes from 6 to 9.
