"Fluctuat nec mergitur, volat" Ring

Sale price€119,00

Rooted and suspended, navigator and winning.

Inspired by the Nike of Samothrace, a famous sculpture from ancient Greece depicting the goddess of victory on the bow of a ship, the ring "Fluctuat nec mergitur, volat" tells the story of the journey and everything we encounter along the way.

The name reinterprets the Latin motto Fluctuat nec mergitur, "It is beaten by the waves, but it does not sink", to which we have added volat, "flies". An invitation to take off, to cross what we don't know and to let ourselves be forged by every experience.

The jewel translates the movement of the sculpture into an extended wing. The stem recalls the drapery shaped by the wind, while the end takes the shape of the bow of the ship on which the Nike rests.

An ode to sailors, to those who leave, to those who arrive and to those who return.

Size Guide

Before proceeding with measuring your finger, here are a few tips. Keep in mind that fingers on the right hand are different from those on the left, and measurements may differ with the change of seasons (hands tend to swell more in warmer weather). Also, the ring style affects the size; for band rings, we suggest going up one size.

For accurate measurement, we recommend purchasing a ring sizer (several are available on Amazon) or, alternatively, visiting any jewellery store.
If you are unable to proceed as indicated, we recommend the following method:

Take one of your rings and a ruler.
Place the ring on the ruler, making sure to center the diameter.
( CAUTION: consider the INTERNAL DIAMETER of the ring and start measuring from the widest point of the circumference).
Take the measurement and compare it with the following sizes:


4: 14 mm

6: 14,64 mm

8: 15,28 mm

10: 15,92 mm

12: 16,56 mm

14: 17,19 mm

16: 17,83 mm

18: 18,47 mm

20: 19,10 mm

Artistic-literary inspiration

"I am a part of all that I have met."
"They're part of everything I've met."

Alfred Tennyson, Ulysses

In Alfred Tennyson's Ulysses, Ulysses retraces with his memory his own journeys, encounters and experiences that made him what he is. Every place crossed, every person met, every departure has become part of his history.

Likewise, the Nike of Samothrace has come down to us after a long journey through the centuries, carrying with it the signs of time. Deprived of his head and arms, he has lost none of his strength. It is also everything she has gone through to make her the one we know today.

Like Ulysses, like Nike, we too are part of everything we have encountered along the way. Every trip gives us something and takes away something else. Yet, we continue to search, to discover, to take off.
