Suspension Ring No. 8

Green Amber in Silver with Perlage

A study in architectural balance and kinetic elegance, this sculptural ring suspends a vibrant green amber cabochon within an open, dual-plate frame. Crafted from high-polished sterling silver, the modern structure borrows design cues from fine watchmaking—featuring hand-finished perlage (circular graining) across the inner walls to catch and scatter light behind the floating gemstone.

The suspension series is an exploration of negative space with open structures that create the perception that the gemstone exists independently within the metal.

How the idea developed

Inspired by the rigour and engineering of mechanical watch movements, the suspension series creates a framework which holds gems and other materials gently suspended within the metal.

The challenge: Using perlage to hand finish the interior walls of the ring to catch and disperse the light through the gem.
