Karen Gall — 'Eroded Ring I'
The Eroded ring is a bold, signet style ring in sterling silver.
This ring is part of the Erosion Series which reflects the continual shifts and changes in the landscape over time. A continual process of metamorphosis and transformation.
The ancient technique of sand casting was used to break down the form, creating a unique raw texture.
