18k Yellow Gold

The 18-carat gold Double Ring, by Danish artist Ane Christensen, is a striking sculptural artwork, made in a limited edition of 20 exclusively for Carpenters Workshop Jewellery.
Christensen’s compositions explore many dualities, in this case covering one half of the ring’s face in miniscule holes and leaving the other half smooth. The sheer number of hand-made holes creates a delicate formation, and tip the work towards abstraction, contrasting solidity with transparency.

Ane Christensen’s metalwork explores the boundaries between functionality and sculptural form. Most of her work is the result of applying a strict set of rules through out her design and work process. She finds inspiration in the restrictive work process itself and the challenge to stretch its limitations. The starting point for all her pieces is the simple geometry of sheet metal and spun forms, which she deconstructs using techniques such as piercing, soldering and hand-forming.
