Description

 


No two are the same. This handmade ring from Dorothee Rosen starts out unique and only become moreso with wearing, molding itself to its wearer.  


The Onefooter Ring is made using a one foot length of sterling silver wire forged in various directions, capturing the way life pushes and pulls us. The wire is then wound repeatedly around the finger, forming a continuous loop without beginning or end.


This design started as a brush and ink drawing; the undulating line of the brushwork can still be detected in the translation into metal. Because each one is wrought by hand, the flow of wire finds its own way each time a new ring is created.


Dorothée Rosen creates in her studio in Halifax. Her work is available on her website or through several galleries in North America.
