Swoop Ring

2008
Lost-Mold Casting
Sterling Silver
7/8” (W) x 7/8” (L) x 1 1/8” (H)

The swoop ring was designed with the goal to obtain the most from its fabrication process - lost mold casting.Its shape then is one in which the elements flow continuously from one to the other, creating a organic and voluptuous shape.
The dimensions of the ring make it into a wearable sculpture rather than a regular piece of jewelry. It was designed to be placed in the index finger of one’s hands, since it has a cut that reveals partially the skin and the body of the person, in a different interaction between jewelry and user.
The ring is made out of polished silver, which reflects in all directions its lines and surfaces, adding interest to its final shape..
