This Pride cocktail ring comes from the British jeweler Stephen Webster’s “The Seven Deadly Sins” High Jewelry Collection, in which the designer vividly interprets the sin of Pride through the graceful imagery of peacock feathers, crafted in a bold and sculptural form using blue titanium.
The peacock, one of the most beautiful birds in the world, is known for the male’s magnificent display of feathers during courtship — a symbol of confidence and self-admiration. The English expression “proud as a peacock” perfectly captures the essence of this design: elegance intertwined with vanity and self-assurance.
In this piece, Stephen Webster uses the peacock’s plumage as a metaphor for Pride. The layered blue titanium feathers create a striking three-dimensional effect, while the “eyes” of the feathers are set with round-cut blue and pink sapphires, their hues echoing and contrasting beautifully. The titanium band is delicately engraved with peacock-like scale and feather motifs, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.
At the center of the ring, a step-cut amethyst is held aloft by diamond-set prongs, emphasizing the gem’s deep, mysterious purple tone. Every intricate detail — from the sculpted metalwork to the vibrant interplay of color — celebrates Stephen Webster’s signature blend of dramatic artistry and refined craftsmanship.
