CLASSIC not classic 

2022 – ongoing
One-of-a-kind pieces

What defines a classic ring, and who decides what “perfect” should look like?

 

The rings in this collection are built around the simple logic of basic archetypal ring forms: the solitaire; the toi et moi (i.e. duet) and the trinity ring (i.e. triad).

These timeless one-, two-, and three-stone compositions are redesigned as contemporary classics, inspired by a traditional formula while challenging what we consider perfect or beautiful.

The prong settings, formed from round wire and paired almost as if accidental, have a sculptural and unfinished feel. The marks of making are left clearly visible to challenge conventional perfection, yet the proportions remain timeless.

​

Imperfect baroque pearls blend well with the raw, sculptural settings and highlight the traditional character of the pieces.

​

Each ring is sculpted by hand and is always one of a kind.

The collection includes statement pieces in solitaire, duet, and triad designs, distinctive additions to any jewelry collection.
