Hafnium Ring with Faceted Hessonite

This ring by Peter Hassenpflug is a bold interplay of weight and warmth. Carved from a single piece of hafnium—a rare, high-density metal with a cool, steely tone—it features a smooth, semi-gloss finish that underscores the precision of its form.

Set into the band is a large, oval faceted hessonite, known for its rich, amber-orange glow. The vibrant warmth of the gemstone contrasts strikingly with the muted tone of the hafnium, creating a piece that feels both grounded and radiant.
