Description
This thought provoking handmade copper wire-wrapped ring. Is an example of ancient copper bending, specifically identified as a creation by the artist Barr, the copper bender (@barr.the.copper.b).
Design & Materials
The ring is a complex “statement” piece featuring several distinct natural and synthetic elements:
- Stones: The central focus is a large, square-cut yellow stone (lime jade) sitting atop a flat, dark tiger’s eye & dark smoky quartz slab.
- Accents: A horizontal row of three smaller beads is nestled between the larger stones, consisting of two faceted dark green beads (emerald-colored glass) flanking a central clear, round bead.
- Wirework: The entire structure is held together by intricate, heavy-gauge copper wire that has been both wrapped and woven. The band of the ring itself is composed of many layers of woven copper wire, providing a thick, textured appearance.
Artisan Context
- Creator: Handcrafted by the artist known as “Barr, the copper bender”.
