The multi-band Mini Candy Ring by Alice Cicolini is part of her TOTEM collection, comprising individual bands stacked on top of each other to form a sacred structure symbolic of a totem pole. Cicolini’s polychromatic use of 14k gold, white enamel and black diamonds is seen in complex twisted or dotted patterns among some of the bands, which are complemented by the monotone colours of others. The relationship between each band combines to form an overall harmony.
The artist uses repetitive geometric patterns, expertly rendered in coloured enamel, to inspire a sense of ritual power in her artworks. Handcrafted in London in the workshop of one of Hatton Garden’s last pattern makers, the TOTEM collection is exclusively made for Carpenters Workshop Gallery.
