Square shaped yellow and rose gold spiral ring

Prominent bold granulation in yellow and rose gold stands out against the blackened, oxidized background of this rectangular ring. It is a reminder of the enourmous proportions favoured by the ethnic groups who designed the original inspiring this piece. Around 2,5 by 2 centimetres wide at the top, the ring is a comfortable statement piece, and also every day companion.

Sculptors and metalsmiths have transgressed boundaries between the real, the ideal and the imaginary. Their designs are often inspired by the mystical realm, the cosmos, the obscure. Traditionally, the processing of metals was reserved to a few specialists who were greatly respected for their handicraft and esoteric knowledge.
