Matina AmanitaIntroducing the �Time Capsule� Collection at Gaysorn PlazaEach of the seven specimens in �Time Capsule� is decorated with an engraved message to remind us what life ismade of and how meaningful words can capture different facets of times we luxuriously spend on earth. Thecollection is presented solely in ring form due to its sturdy nature and metal foundation, which enable rings tostand the test of time. The seven specimens are of silver body with gold or black rhodium coats.

Matina Amanita chooses to work with quartz and rutilated quartz primarily for this collection. Naturallyabundant, quartz represents human beings in that aspect, freezing particular passages of time through itsstrong exterior. In general, quartz is hardly manipulated, but �Time Capsule� gives it a spin with differentcuts.

For �Love Tokens�,Matina Amanita�saccompanying finejewellery line, thecreation of beingcomes into question.

The answer revealsthat synergy andharmony turnthe wheels ofthe world.

The moon is foreverpaired with stars while

there would be nouniverse without thesky, and the sun willalways be paired with

sunlight. These naturalwonders are turned intoworded necklace, ringsand earrings. MatinaAmanita�s signature

Magic Ring also gets anupdate.
