Jade Mellor, Island Strata Ring, metal, resin

This statement piece, as seen in British Vogue, is a whole world of its own. Cast and sculpted by the artist Jade Mellor, this rugged double ring bedecks the hand comfortably with meticulously carved grooves eroded to perfection to fit even the daintiest human hand. Thanks to the unique modern material, it is lighter than its geological style portrays, packing a visual punch whilst easy to wear.

"This piece is inspired by my studies into geology at Manchester Museum. I have been learning how the landscape has led to the discovery of the Earth's secrets, from finding fossils in the exposed layers of rock strata to the formation of rocks and minerals. Visualising how the landscape looked millions of years ago and how it has changed has led me to experiment with my own versions of these natural processes that build and shape the world we live in."

A lot of time and care has gone into this piece, to look after it please treat as a ceramic as it can break if dropped or knocked against a hard surface. Liquids and perfumes should be avoided. It can be cleaned if necessary with a soft clean, dry cloth.
