Red Queen
"This ring set was made for the Red Queen from Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, to reflect her unpredictable temperament and imposing presence.
"There are twenty two 18ct yellow gold rings in the ensemble which is The Red Queen. Red is for power, love, joy, ecstasy, and the very elements of life. All twenty two rings have different sizes and shapes of garnet, soft and voluptuous, sharp and pointy. The stand is crimson anodised aluminium."
