Designed in collaboration with Sjoerd Maret, this piece started from a simple idea: the client does not normally wear a ring, but wanted to keep one close as a personal object.
Instead of wearing the ring on a finger, we explored how it could become part of a bracelet. The challenge was to create a mechanism that allows the ring to be securely carried on the wrist while still preserving its identity as a ring.
This turned out to be a surprisingly technical design challenge. The connection had to be strong and reliable, yet visually refined enough to become an integral part of the jewellery rather than simply a functional attachment.
The final design combines a sculptural gold ring with a flexible metal bracelet and a precisely engineered clasp. The construction is deliberately visible, creating a dialogue between jewellery, mechanism and industrial design.
