TIDAL MASS — Aquamarine Ring
A volume shaped around a solid core.
This ring is formed in reticulated sterling silver, where the metal is repeatedly heated until its surface destabilizes, collapsing and reforming into a dense, irregular structure. The resulting form is thick, uneven, and substantial—closer to a carved mass than a traditional band.
At its center sits a large opaque aquamarine cabochon. Its surface is smooth and subdued, holding color rather than transmitting light. The stone reads as mineral rather than gem—quiet, matte, and self-contained—contrasting with the disrupted, reflective silver that surrounds it.
The structure rises around the cabochon, containing it rather than displaying it. There is no attempt to elevate or isolate the stone; instead, it is embedded within the mass, integrated into the form.
The piece carries significant weight and presence.
More than mere accessory, it is a singular object.
Details
– Reticulated sterling silver
– Opaque aquamarine cabochon (20 × 16 mm)
– 21.58 grams
– One of one
A concentrated mass, built around density rather than light.
