Christine Kesteloo's Bypass Ring - Everest & Titanic Coal

Every explorer faces a choice: climb higher or dive deeper—this ring carries both. Where the sea meets the sky, this Bypass Ring unites two of Earth’s most extreme frontiers—gravel from Mount Everest’s base camp, where climbers begin their ascent to the world’s highest peak, and certified coal recovered from the silent depths of the Atlantic, a relic of ambition and the untamed forces of nature.

Despite having explored 108 countries, Everest remains an uncharted dream for Christine Kesteloo—an iconic destination still awaiting her footsteps. In Tibetan, Everest is known as the "Mother Goddess of the World," a symbol of strength and ambition. Elegantly understated yet rich in meaning, this sterling silver bypass ring embodies two roads less traveled—the heights we seek and the depths we embrace.
