ZIPEI — 'Skin' Ring in Silver

The concept of a 'Skin' Ring involves creating a ring without using
fingertips. Hands possess inherent knowledge, interacting with
materials to create impressions, textures, and curves in
unexpected ways.

The piece captures the texture of one's skin
during the process of making, turning the act of wearing it into an
extra layer of skin.
