Garden Ring, A ring with casted lace flower and a double branched ring | Sterling Silver, 585gold 2021

Effloresce when two become one. The two rings can be interlocked into one ring. The man’s strong branches make a stable environment for a woman to bloom and produce a fruitful life together. I treat cotton lace into casted metal into wearable jewelry. Within the narrative, the rearrangement of each lace becomes a new shape and therefore completes the story. Jewelry is a symbolic object. It can manifest certain meaning through the wearer. It is a representation of one’s self-esteem, and it can be sharable to one another.
