Seven Deadly Sins have never looked so attractive


Forget classic  investments!  It's all about making a statement which is exactly what Stephen Webster has created.  Inspired by the 7 deadly sins, ie very unattractive human qualities that we all have to a certain degree (may I add, some more than others), Webster has designed 7 rings which come in a limited edition of 7 of each piece and a juicy price tag that ranges from 98K to 125K.  Not for the faint-hearted, I must say.  Each ring represents a different sin and its details and colours are closely linked to the associations that the designer has with each sin.  I must say that my favorite is Pride (not necessarily because I identify with it the most by the way), with its peacock feather details complete with my favorite stones, amethyst and pink and blue sapphires.  How would you react if you were gifted a ring that represents Greed? Do you take it as an indirect hint or laugh it off and greedily tuck it away in your jewelery box?  An irony in itself... Being bad has never been so good!
