MoAnA LUU Unveils the Fago Kann Maxi Ring, a High Jewelry Tribute to the Sugar Cane of the Caribbean

Archive No. 1 of Eritaj, the House's collection dedicated to the master jewelers of the Creole tradition

MoAnA LUU unveils the Fago Kann Maxi Ring, a sculptural statement in 18K yellow gold and diamonds that reimagines one of the most cherished emblems of Creole identity: the fagot de cannes, literally "bundle of sugar cane" in French. Crafted in New York and set with natural round and oval diamonds, the ring translates an ancestral motif into an expression of brilliance and legacy.

The piece is Archive No. 1 of Eritaj, the House's collection dedicated to the iconic designs of traditional Caribbean master jewelers, reinterpreted and elevated into the language of contemporary High Jewelry. Each creation is individually numbered and conceived as a collectible heirloom, a lasting testament to craftsmanship and cultural pride.

"For centuries, the cane fields shaped the landscape, economy, and cultural identity of the West Indies. Sugar cane represents resilience, heritage, and the transformation of labor into artistry. By immortalizing this motif in precious metal, Creole jewelers created enduring symbols of our story, worn with honor and celebration across generations. I wanted to honor this rich heritage with joy and contemporary elegance," said MoAnA Luu.

The Ring

The Fago Kann Maxi Ring is crafted with architectural precision in 18K yellow gold. Along the edge of each finely carved cane cut, brilliant round and oval diamonds are meticulously set, catching the light with every movement, as though the stalk had just been sliced under the Caribbean sun. Its sculptural silhouette honors the antique fagots de cannes: elaborate bundles of chiseled gold cylinders bound together with gold leaf, echoing the rope ties of the sugar cane harvests.

The interior reveals MoAnA Luu's signature webbing pattern, an intimate detail known only to the wearer.

Sugar Cane: A Symbol of the Caribbean's Soul

In the Caribbean, sugar cane is far more than an agricultural crop; it is woven into the islands' collective memory and pride. For centuries it shaped the landscape, the economy, and the cultural identity of the West Indies and in the hands of Creole jewelers, it became something else again: a motif of resilience and celebration, worn with honor across generations.

Honoring Creole Jewelry History

Historically crafted as earrings, the fagots de cannes assembled cylinders of chiseled gold bound together like cane stalks—became one of the most treasured forms in the jewelry of the French West Indies. By delving into 17th- and 18th-century archives, MoAnA Luu celebrates and preserves this extraordinary patrimoine, reclaiming it for the vocabulary of modern High Jewelry. Eritaj takes its name and its purpose from that act of recovery, with each numbered archive piece drawn from a specific tradition and given new form.
