TWISTED is a black silver signet ring - a raw block cross-lap joined by a twisted and faceted ring band.

Signifying the intersections of the creative practice risk versus safety.

FOR THE MISTAKEN RISK-TAKER, OUT THERE WITH HIS MAKER

It is made from the application of high heat to silver, the embrace of silicon, and dramatized surface decay - The outcome of the cognitive revolution, and the intention of mining and metallurgy.

One color option is available – a black patina accelerated from the loss of electrons amid a state induced by the reckless transfer of potassium sulfide compounds.

Every patinated object will wear differently based on your behavior and skin pH to become individually yours.

Sizing

We offer this ring in the following sizes:

Size US 6 = 16,5 mm

Size US 8 = 18,1 mm

Size US 9,5 = 19,4 mm

Measurement is taken from the ring band's internal diameter.

Care

Our silver [Ag] is mined from the unflat Earth toward which we are pulled, and after manipulation, it is oxidized black.

Blackened silver comes from a surface decay effect from accelerating a natural process with a chemical treatment, affecting only the top layer of the metal.

Through time, friction, and your individual environment behavior, the black patina will increase or decrease.

Gradually, as the black wears, new details are revealed, based on the usage and individual’s skin pH.

In some situations, the oxidized finish can polish away - To re-black your silver, consult your jeweller.

Wear at will.

THIS EDITION

PHOTOGRAPHY - MARINÓ THORLACIUS

This object, a cross-lapped black silver signet ring, was originally made in 2012 in our studio in Iceland from silver sourced from within the earth for the Autumn and Winter 2013 collection:

FIELD DRESSING
Where The Darkness Divides

To update this item for the year 2023, it is now made in France by our partner OSS, an Argentinian workshop, from provincial silver, oxide inducing Sulphur, silicon molding, and human energy.

TWISTED is formed by heating silver in a crucible to above 970 degrees Centigrade and pouring into a silicon mold.

Centrifugal force pushes the silver into all parts of the mold, whereafter it is removed, quenched, and finished by hand to prepare for oxidation – Human curiosity and its nature in a harmonic grasp.

All the alkhemikal efforts that make a ring for the representation of character, visual semantic, and aesthetic illusion.

The rings were developed by cross fitting intersecting layers of leather and card, under the influence of 3D model layer-slice CNC-aesthetic, in the applied process of lazer cut surfaces and their use in constructing full volume forms from 2D sheets.

The design has not been altered from their original version - These new rings have been cast from the first samples.
