Ring size 8
Sterling silver, vitreous enamel
Hand painted, torch fired, etched, hand fabricated.
The inscription on the bezel reads, "Well, shit. There goes that."
A car is lifted into a tornado in this vitreous enamel statement ring. I created the enameled scene by "painting" with powdered glass on copper with tiny brushes and needles, then I fired the design with a torch to permanently fuse it to the metal.
This piece is part of my Tiny Catastrophes series, a collection of limited edition, one-of-a-kind memento mori pieces that explore the fragility of life and our desire to prevent, explain, and control the uncontrollable.
