What we like
We like making rings. Jewelry in general but especially rings, since rings tend to bond stronger with a person. A ring can be a lot of things. An exhibition, a window to a memory, a reminder, a demonstration of the character or passion.
We like classic forms- mainly on silver, but we are excited when having to experiment with combinations of materials or new or unconventional ways to reach a specific design target. We have even turned a sausage roll -part of it- into a ring. Challenge starts on the very early design stage e.g. can denim jeans give a classy piece? Can we turn this material -any material- into a nice wearable piece of jewelry? Which combination of materials or colors will make the desire elements to stand out? Some time ago, a piece of the t-shirt of the guitarist of a famous band, was turned into a nice ring.
At the moment we experiment a lot with new materials for us like resins and polymer-clay. Not all pieces make it to the shop. They must carry high standards on aesthetics and structural strength. We don't want to sell works that we are not sure that will last in time.
Experiments on mixing materials and techniques.
Our Designs
We are obsessed with design. Everything starts and finishes with the design. Even when prototyping, it is never an "as we go" process. There is almost never a random in our world. Random is designed and controlled. The infill on our bentwood rings most of the times is made to look random, even though it is not. Only on some projects we go fully random.
Many of our prototypes are designed "for a person". This person can be a group of people with similar style. Or a piece that e.g would fit a certain type of cloth .So the "model" is usually a person we know, and we try to explore the ways we can reflect the appeal or character. Many times we start like "let's make a ring for Lena (a friend with a style based on colours and combinations). This can get much more challenging than simply designing "a ring with a stone" e.g.
Denim and copper combine great
