This Kissing Seed Ring by ALEX MONROE transforms the familiar shape of a fennel seed into an unexpectedly sculptural everyday design. Traditionally called a kissing seed because fennel seeds were chewed to freshen the breath, the botanical form has been enlarged to become the ring's defining feature. Contrasting metal colors help distinguish its decorative elements, giving the composition additional visual interest without relying on gemstones. The oversized seed introduces a playful quality, while the ring format keeps the overall design straightforward. It is particularly appealing for someone who enjoys unusual natural motifs and appreciates jewelry that finds character in ordinary botanical details.
Born in London, Alex Monroe has spent more than three decades transforming the quiet beauty of the natural world into intricately detailed jewelry. Founded in 1987, the eponymous brand draws on Monroe’s childhood in the Suffolk countryside, where a fascination with plants, animals and the changing seasons first took root. From delicately rendered wildflowers and woodland creatures to the much-loved Bumblebee necklace, his designs possess a distinctly British charm, balancing whimsy with remarkable craftsmanship. Each piece begins with Monroe’s hand at the workbench, creating jewelry that feels intimate, characterful and wonderfully alive.
Handmade in sterling silver with Fairmined Gold-plated details, creating contrasting metal colors.
