ring in solid silver platinum plated, photos Giorgos Vitsaropoulos

decorating our body is a primordial human desire. my first attempt to design a ring, an object with a purely decorative purpose, put me in front of a dilemma. a part of me wanted to reduce the form to the basics, as I usually do, whereas another part wanted to create decorative patterns, proper to a purely decorative object.

I decided to merge the two approaches, however conflicting. the decorative pattern is placed on the inside, out of sight, but I know it’s there… only a small detail is left in full view, hinting its presence to the rest of the world.
