‘Birds’ Wedding Ring. Silver, stainless steel, aluminium and recycled bearing. Wendy Leah Dawson 2011. 

This Saturday this conceptual piece of jewellery will be worn in an actual wedding by an actual bride! It is made in two parts, the outer part consists of a frame with a bearing, set with 16 birds circling the hand on steel wires which spins and moves around the hand. Within this ring is a more practical silver band with abstract bird shapes etched on the surface that can be worn every day.

Some photo’s that were taken during Helfa Gelf Open Studio’s last year by @shadowplayimage, and have been sitting around undeveloped until last week…
