§ Artist statement

About Oak Leaf Ring (r033)

The leaves I use are purely natural and I believe the imperfections in each leaf could tell a story of its life and experience. This is the legacy I want to preserve.

What I love about natural objects is that every part is unique. You’ll never find the same leaf with all its unique and individual features — and that’s the charm of it.

Please pay attention when choosing a ring for your finger — each ring has its own size, a bit adjustable for half a step. Covered with a thin layer of eco-friendly varnish for scratch-proofing and copper colour protection.
