STONE SETTING

You will design and construct a finger adornment which incorporates the cabochon stone you have purchased (minimum size of 5mm). The finger decoration should be comfortable to wear and should not restrict hand movement. (...)

my response.

For this project, I have been inspired by the urban environment. I have been going through the city and I noticed the high number of scaffoldings. Obviously, they are temporary, they are there just for the time of construction or refurbishing. But they are everywhere, so even if temporal, they are a part of a city image. I took their geometrical look and translated it into a wearable piece. The stone set in the ring is a cabochon labradorite.
