Lunna Ring

Lunna ring takes its name from Luna — the Roman goddess of the moon, the silver counterpart to the sun’s gold. Luna drove her silver chariot across the night sky, her light diffuse and shifting where the sun’s was direct and constant.

She was the goddess of the night hours, of the tidal pull, of the slow and rhythmic cycles that govern the living world beneath her. As a result, Luna’s quality is not the heat of the sun but the cool clarity of reflected light: the quality of things seen at night, which appear both familiar and transformed.

Furthermore, the arabesque — the flowing geometric pattern at the heart of Islamic decorative art — is intimately connected to the moon. The crescent appears throughout Islamic visual culture, and the arabesque’s flowing, interlaced geometry has always been understood as a representation of infinite pattern, of the cosmos seen from within: the same celestial infinity that Luna’s light crosses every night.

The Lunna ring brings those two traditions together: the Roman moon goddess and the arabesque geometry that the moon has always been associated with in the Islamic world.

The Design of the Lunna Ring

The Lunna ring translates that meeting of moon and pattern into 18k gold. The band is an openwork ring — its structure cut through with arabesques and filigree, so the gold forms a lattice rather than a solid surface.

As a result, the Lunna ring lets light pass through it the way moonlight passes through a mashrabiya screen — divided into patterns, transformed by the structure it moves through. The spaces between the gold are as important as the gold itself.

Therefore, the Lunna ring is a ring about what you can see through things as much as what you see of them.

Moonlight Through the Lattice

The openwork arabesque is the soul of this design. Specifically, the flowing geometric pattern of the filigree creates a rhythm that moves around the band without beginning or end, the way the moon moves through its cycle without stopping.

Worn on the finger, the Lunna ring lets the skin show through the openwork, so the band seems to float rather than grip. Furthermore, as the hand moves, the light catches the gold from different angles, so the lattice casts small shadows that shift and change. In this way, the ring carries Luna’s essential quality: the transformation of ordinary surfaces by the particular quality of its light.

Lunna Ring in 18k Gold

In rose gold the arabesque lattice glows with warmth, the openwork reading rich and intricate, like gilded screens in lamplight. In white gold the Lunna ring turns cool and luminous, the filigree catching light with the precision of silver in moonlight.

In yellow gold it radiates with full golden intensity — the gold of the patterns themselves, the shimmer of the arabesque at its most vivid. Additionally, the mixed metal version adds a warm and cool thread through the same lattice, so the ring carries both the sun’s warmth and the moon’s coolness in the same openwork form. Whichever version you choose, the pattern holds its light.

Craftsmanship and 3D Precision

Each Lunna ring was developed in 3D modeling software and brought to life through precision 3D printing and meticulous hand-finishing. The openwork arabesque demands digital modeling above all: every element of the filigree lattice must be consistent in thickness so the pattern reads as continuous, the openings must be sized correctly so the band is strong enough for wear while remaining visually light, and the pattern must meet cleanly at the join.

Hand-finishing then polishes every surface of the lattice to a high shine. This is the precision that only the Friszman MD process can deliver reliably.

A Made-to-Order Piece

Like every Friszman MD creation, the Lunna ring is made to order and hand-finished in 18k gold.
