A wide, split-band brass ring that reads as a small piece of architecture on the hand. The front is built from flat planes and hard edges rather than a rounded band, and the metal carries a matte, brushed gold finish. The band is open at the back, so it adjusts slightly to fit a range of fingers.
The form takes its cues from modern architecture, with clean lines and shapes that shift as light moves across the planes. Brass warms and softens with wear, which suits a graphic piece like this. It sits well beside thin gold bands and holds its own next to heavier silver or oxidized pieces.
Wear it alone on an index or middle finger for one strong shape, or stack it with a few slim rings for a layered hand. It goes from a desk to dinner without a change and travels flat in a pouch. It also suits a friend who collects architecture books.
