Ane Christensen Hemisphere Ring
Edition of 20

Brass, 18k Gold Plated
5 x 5 x 4.5 cm

The Hemisphere Ring, by Danish artist Ane Christensen, is a deep brass ring, made in a limited edition of 20 exclusively for Carpenters Workshop Jewellery.
Christensen is fascinated by metal’s range of material properties, which she explores in her Crumbling series. The face of each brass sculpture is patinated to achieve a texture often comparable to that of stone, leather, or even skin. The holes drilled vertically into the body of the piece are then plated in 18-carat gold, inserting light into each void where otherwise there would be shadow.
