Austy Lee’s Ultra Cyan circuit ring transforms the language of electronics into luminous geometry. The piece sits at the intersection of fine jewellery and contemporary art, where a substantial Afghanistan lagoon tourmaline, its colour a crystalline cyan that seems to glow from within, commands the composition. The stone is cut to catch light with an almost liquid brilliance, its facets fractured and flowing like a coded signal rendered visible.
The architecture surrounding the tourmaline speaks in the vocabulary of Art Deco, though reimagined through a psychedelic lens. Curving bands of 18K rose gold frame the central stone with serpentine precision, their surfaces punctuated by meticulous black enamel lines that echo circuit board pathways. White diamonds pepper the design with surgical restraint, their cold fire offsetting the warm glow of the gold and the electric intensity of the tourmaline. Each curve and angle appears intentional, the ring reading as a complete system rather than a simple ornament.
Named for its ultra cyan protagonist, the ring belongs to the designer’s Psychedelic Light collection, a body of work that draws visual inspiration from the intersection of technology and organic form. The piece is one of a kind, a singular expression of the maker’s vision rather than a reproducible design. It represents the kind of jewellery that demands to be seen in person, where the interplay of materials, colour and light reveals itself only when worn or held to daylight.
