The ReBelles Swan Song Cocktail Ring

About the Item

‘The ReBelles’, takes inspiration from heroines throughout history, celebrating their achievements, intellects, and courage. Comprising of seven limited-edition made-to order cocktail rings, each piece showcases Stephen Webster’s impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail and is bursting with unique personality and charisma, referencing the heroine who inspired it. Taking inspiration from Anna Pavlova, probably the most famous ballet dancer and a heroine to generations of young ballerinas. Set in 18ct White Gold with a central Green Dichroic Tourmaline and White Diamonds. Born in St Petersburg in 1881, Anna Pavlova was born to dance from a young age. Seeing a production of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ at the age of eight, Anna went on to become an inspiration to an entire generation of young ballerinas. During her extremely successful career Anna brought the art to an international mass audience well before the age of flight, travelling by sail and rail to places as far-flung as Australia, Japan, South America, India, and the United States. Often performing where ballet was virtually unknown, Anna gave performances in small towns and communities where she felt the locals would benefit from her art. Very competitive and never one to be upstaged, Anna’s long running, passionate feud with dance partner Michael Mordkin included Pavlova slapping Mordkin during a curtain call at The Royal Variety Performance in 1910 because she thought he was receiving more applause than she. Pavlova’s most famous role was that of the dying swan which saw her wearing a classic Tutu with a central Green stone, representing the swan’s heart. Famously her 1920 visit to New Zealand and Australia obsessed both countries. Two famous chefs located either side of the Tasman Sea, both claimed to naming their light and billowing meringue desserts after the impossible lightness of Anna Pavlova and her tutu. The Swan Song ReBelle, much like Anna Pavlova’s tutu, features a central green stone, in this case a Dicroic Tourmaline, surrounded by white Diamonds, and crafted in 18ct white Gold. Comprised of two rings, the central Tourmaline is as diverse as the dancer it is inspired by and can be removed and worn alone; or with the jacket representing the powerful wings of a Swan and drama that is Anna Pavlova.

Comprising of seven limited-edition made-to order cocktail rings, each piece showcases Stephen Webster’s impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail and is bursting with unique personality and charisma, referencing the heroine who inspired it. Inspired by the activist Rachel Carson, a marine biologist who was the first to question the extensive use of synthetic pesticides and the damage they caused to the health of people and the environment. Set in 18ct White Gold, featuring a central carved Moonstone face with Grey and White Diamond spines. Rachel Carson spent most of her life below the water line. A marine biologist in the US bureau of fishers by trade, she was also a great writer and storyteller and eventually towelled down and turned her hand to become a full-time nature writer. Carson’s nonfiction Trilogy of The Seas became unlikely best sellers. Her last book published two years before she died really ruffled some feathers, Silent Spring, another non-fiction was very much about dry land. Carson questioned the extensive use of synthetic pesticides, the damage they caused to the health of people and the environment in general and this attention was not universally welcomed. There was a fierce backlash from the chemical companies and many questions asked of government bodies and individuals who had accepted the lobbying without question as to the obvious side effects. The book and reaction spurred a reversal of the national pesticide policy, the universal banning of DDT and a grassroots movement that led to the US environmental protection agency. Carson died before she could witness the massive impact she had started, however posthumously she was awarded the presidential medal of freedom by then President Carter...

  • The ReBelles Double Dutch Cocktail Ring
    By Stephen Webster
    Located in London, GB
    ‘The ReBelles’, takes inspiration from heroines throughout history, celebrating their achievements, intellects, and courage. Comprising of seven limited-edition made-to order cocktail rings, each piece showcases Stephen Webster’s impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail and is bursting with unique personality and charisma, referencing the heroine who inspired it. Inspired by Mata Hari, the rumoured double agent working for both sides during the Great War. Set in 18ct Rose Gold with a central Peridot surrounded by Diamonds, with a jewelled snake set with Diamonds, Rubies and Pink Sapphires and gold tassels. Margaretha Zelle was born in Leeuwarden Holland in 1876 and had a somewhat tragic early life. Starting with her once-prosperous family losing everything after disastrous oil speculations and finishing with the divorce of her abusive husband and death of one of her children. Maragaretha turned to the study of Malaysian culture and dance whilst stationed in the Dutch East Indies. In an attempt to support herself, she worked as a circus performer, artist and model, before turning her hand to the latest art form emerging from the European nightlife scene, known as modern dance. Moving to Paris, Margaretha combined her traditional Malaysian dance with something even more exotic, she completed the seductive mystery by assuming the persona of Mata Hari, a Javanese princess of Hindu birth and full of eastern promise. Carefree and provocative, she was often photographed in nothing more than a bejewelled breastplate and a nude body stocking, which she later discarded. Penetrating the wealthiest and most influential circles, she inspired a myriad of impersonators. Her notorious sensuality and eroticism meant Mata was never short of suitors, high ranking officers, politicians and the idle rich across Europe. Her liaisons meant she regularly crossed borders, never feeling particularly aligned to any one nationality. As the Great War progressed, accusations started to fly that Mata Hari was, in fact, a double agent, used by both sides to spread covert material via the notoriously unreliable medium of ‘pillow talk’. Unable to defend her innocence and, to a certain extent, revelling in her notoriety, after intense interrogation by the French army, she was executed by firing squad in 1917. Since then, there has been a swell of opinion that Margaretha Zelle was forced by circumstance and the times to reinvent herself as an instinct to survive. More a victim than a traitor. The Double Dutch ReBelle, embodies Mata Hari’s exotic ways with a central Peridot and Diamond surround and a Diamond jewellery snake. Representing her sensual dance moves the mount is crafted with bejewelled hands in 18ct rose Gold, set with a Diamond jewellery snake, Rubies and pink Sapphires, and tassels hanging draws reference from her seductive costumes.

    By Stephen Webster
    Located in London, GB
    ‘The ReBelles’, takes inspiration from heroines throughout history, celebrating their achievements, intellects, and courage. Comprising of seven limited-edition made-to order cocktail rings, each piece showcases Stephen Webster’s impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail and is bursting with unique personality and charisma, referencing the heroine who inspired it. Taking inspiration from Ching Shih, a legendary pirate who commanded The Red Flag Fleet consisting of 1,800 ships and a vast crew of some 80,000 men. Set in 18ct Yellow Gold with a central Orange Citrine (shown in 17.57ct) and cabochon Ruby sails, White Diamonds and tattoo detailing using black plating. After a mega pirate of the seven seas Ching, died in 1807, his wife was the unlikely but more than capable successor. She was known from then on as Ching Shih, which translates to ‘Ching’s widow’. As she stepped comfortably into his pirate boots assuming the role of a pirate in chief, commanding The Red Flag Fleet of 1,800 ships and a vast crew of some 80,000 men. By comparison, the famous pirate Black Beard, plundering the seas around the same time and had a mere four ships and 300 men. The Red Flag Fleet was formidable, robbing towns, markets, and villages from Macau to Canton. Ching managed to implement some basic codes of conduct: rape as well as the failure to share the bounty according to the agreed 80/20 split was punishable by death, and the less serious offence of a mid-life career change rewarded by having one’s ears chopped off. The Qing dynasty, the Dutch and British Navy’s were no match for Ching Shih and her pirates of the Orient. In 1810 a truce was declared; widow Ching and the entire fleet were given amnesty. They got to keep the bounty and their freedom in exchange for hanging up their cutlasses, patches and parrots and lowering the Jolly Roger once and for all. Ching, not quite ready for a quiet life, opened a gambling house, where she made money at the mah-jong tables until her death at 69, a ripe old age for a pirate! The Red Sail Sunset...
