ZIPEI — 'Skylight Ring' in Oxidised Silver
Inspired by architectural skylights, this ring explores the idea of an opening-an intentional frame through which light and sky enter. Its clean, geometric form reflects a quiet balance between structure and openness. The matte finish softens its edges, while carefully carved facets catch and reflect light, echoing the shifting glow of the sky through a skylight.
The patina finish adds a new dimension to the original design, introducing a textured surface that echoes the look of concrete. This subtle detail brings a sense of time and materiality, grounding the ring in both architecture and memory.
