The Given

Had to improvise with wire and more wire, drilled some holes and added some oxidation. One side is completely cooked, the other is still raw. The name Given – because it is unique.

This ring couldn't be repaired in the usual way, so I had to improvise. I drilled holes in the silver and pulled wire through them – and then more wire – until the parts held together in a loop across the top.

One side is fully cooked and smooth, the other is left as it was: raw and oxidized. No other ring can be exactly the same, which is why it was named Given.

The ring belongs to the series Reclaimed: rings shaped by crime and repair, where the imperfect is allowed to take place.
