Revere SparHawk Maine Tourmaline & Diamond Ring

Revere
One if by land, Two if by sea

I probably should think more about this guy, a hero of the American Revolution. Here is a jeweler – a silversmith, who left his day job heating, forming, shaping silver to create bowls and cups, forks and knives – to saddle up and go galloping through northern Boston to call out to his countrymen that “The British are coming, the British are coming!” and in Longfellow’s poem he’s on the other side of the Charles waiting for a guy to climb up four flights of stairs in the Old North Church to hold the signal to let his future country know to be ready and prepare.

This is Revere, a ring named after our American hero. In our repertoire of classic rings it is the simplest of all our designs. We built it as the lowest profile of all our three gem classics, center and side gems finger-hugging close, simple, smooth east-west shank. Easy on the eye, super smooth and comfortable on the hand.

Think of the contrast for a moment. Riding horseback for hours at a full gallop over darkened rutted roads, tying your horse up, waking the minister, sprinting up the stairs, climbing the ladder to the bell tower and lighting your lanterns. Revere is an important ring. Revere in its name reveals little of the freeing of America from British rule. Back in the 1770s Portland and Maine were a part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Fifty years later Maine and Massachusetts became separate states. And here we are, Maine its own independent state. How good is that? And Massachusetts we celebrate all that you’ve done for our country.
