"Petit Iridis" ring, solid silver


Sale price90,00 €


The Petit Iridis ring is made of solid sterling silver.

Made from genuine recycled silver, as part of our responsible approach.

Close to a work of art, the design nearly presents four thousand five hundred details to reveal the mathematical beauty that can be found in real life with the Coscinodiscus Oculus Iridis Diatom, that measures a fraction of millimeter and yet is so beautiful and complex it is close to perfection.

It is nicknamed "the small Moon" because of its shape.

Also available in 24-carat gold-plated 925 sterling silver (vermeil).

Like the rest of the collection, this piece represents the plankton, the natural jewel of the microscopic world in the Ocean. More specifically among the plankton, diatoms are single-celled brown microalgae that make up most of the phytoplankton and produce a quarter of the Earth oxygen. The particularity of diatoms is to have a membrane surrounded by a transparent siliceous shell, sensitive to pollution.

Because Diatoms are magnificent and precious for life, they need to be protected: that is why our brand Sœur & Mer dedicated its first collection to them in order to raise awareness as they are unknown to most people.

Thanks to you, through your acquisition of one of our pieces of jewelry, our brand is able to make a 5% donation to the Tara Ocean Foundation, developing an innovative and original open ocean science which, in the future, will enable us to predict, anticipate, better understand climate risks and better protect biodiversity.


Many of you choose to gift Sœur & Mer jewelry to the dear women in your life : your daughter, mother, sister, or soul mate.

At Sœur & Mer, we take great care to make this moment truly magical.

Let us know if it's a gift and if you would like to include a personalized note. By default, a handwritten note signed by the Maison's Foundation accompanies each piece of jewelry. This note explains what the jewelry piece represents, its collection, the manufacturing process in our Parisian workshops, and our commitment to the Tara Ocean Foundation to support research aimed at protecting the environment and biodiversity.

The jewelry box is a delicate turquoise color and is also made in France. The jewelry is carefully protected by tissue paper, and a satin organza ribbon adds the perfect finishing touch to the packaging.
Additionally, a personalized Sœur & Mer pouch is included to store the jewelry piece daily.

The size of this ring is 54.

We offer you the possibility of adjusting the size of your jewel or having your jewel made to measure. This service is included in the purchase price.

It takes about 7 working days for your jewel to be cut to size, and longer for custom-made jewels.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to have your jewel cut, would like to tell us about your project.

Here's a guide to your finger size or that of your loved one.

Using a tape measure or other method, wrap a piece of paper around your finger and cut off the paper when you've gone all the way round, then measure the length of the paper on a flat surface.

Preferably do this at the end of the day, when it's neither too hot nor too cold. If you're between sizes, choose the larger of the two (the finger tends to thicken over time, and it's easier to resize a ring that's too big than the other way round).
