Rings with a stand. The initial idea

I started this project in 2010 as part of my exhibition for Oxfordshire Artweeks. My brief was to design and make a series of pieces that would 

1. Give the wearer the opportunity to create their own jewellery.

2. Create something that would also look decorative whilst not being worn. 

I thought by giving them different designs and different colours the wearer could make a new ring, bracelet or pendent everyday. The piece would also feel unique to the wearer. I also wanted to explore the idea of interchangeable ornaments and allowing the wearer to collect different ornaments to swap between different jewellery pieces.
