Zipper Ring

Ring

Sterling silver (oxidised); Found zipper.

2008

My work is inspired by aesthetics associated with masculinity. This ring is a celebration of this fascination, the silver is embossed with denim and oxidised to resemble the course texture and steel colour of this fabric. The ring retains a manly aesthetic but the inclusion of an opening (or closing) zip adds just a touch boyish playfulness.
