Artist Carl Noonan has crafted this schmick ring out of titanium and sterling silver. The ring is a dichotomy between the organic/natural and clean/industrial forms. The top detail is comprised of three circles, evenly spaced inside each other, with four lines coming off the outer edge of the central circle, all at 90 degrees around the circle. It appears almost as a target motif. Between the lines are gaps which have been filled or partially filled with sterling silver. The partially filled sections look like the side of a cliff face. The top is smooth and flat with a soft brushed matt finish. Majority of the ring is made from smooth curved titanium, which has a polished steely grey colour.
Dimension of top detail: width 21mm, thickness 4mm
Dimension of shank: width 5.5mm, thickness 2mm
Materials: Titanium, Sterling Silver.
Size: R 1/2
