100 Contemporary Rings by 100 Makers : Goldsmiths’ Fair at Collect Art Fair
This year, Goldsmiths' Fair is celebrating the enduring power of the ring with a unique exhibition: 100 Rings by 100 makers.
I am delighted to be one of the 100 recent Goldsmiths' Fair exhibitors selected to showcase a piece in this contemporary ring presentation.
For millennia, rings have marked life's most precious moments – love, commitment, achievement, and more. They are miniature sculptures, intimate objects that carry personal meaning and become treasured companions.
This exhibition brings together the diverse talents and perspectives of 100 contemporary makers, each crafting a contemporary ring that embodies their individual artistry and vision. Expect to see an inspiring array of designs, from the elegantly understated to the boldly sculptural, showcasing the incredible craftsmanship and innovation of contemporary jewellery.
Contemporary Ring by Ute Decker
My contribution to the 100 Rings by 100 makers exhibition explores transformation and renewal – Rose in 18kt Fairtrade Gold is a bold sculptural ring and when worn with a torque it transforms into an intriguing pendant.
Visit the Goldsmiths’ Fair stand at Collect to see them all and, most importantly, try them on! Experience the intimacy and artistry of these miniature masterpieces firsthand.
