1.9—4.5

Carved from serpentine stone sourced in Zimbabwe — a material long used in local sculptural traditions. Its dense,
fine-grained texture makes it durable, but also slow to yield — shaping it is a process of patience.The specific type used here is known for its deep green coloration, intersected by natural veins and fibers in varying shades of brown — from warm ochre to near black. These mineral patterns are formed over time by shifts in pressure and temperature deep within the earth, making each piece of stone geologically and visually singular. The serpentine used was quarried in small batches, often by hand, and selected for its structural integrity as well as surface character.

One of the first rings I ever made — carved out of Italian white alabaster, a sedimentary stone that’s been used for thousands of years, often found in dry, mineral-rich regions. The piece was cut and shaped by hand, allowing the natural structure of the stone to guide the process.
In direct sunlight, the alabaster turns slightly translucent. You can see the veins running through it — like something slowly grown from within.

This piece follows that rhythm. It's made to sit across two fingers, not polished to symmetry, but finished where the material allowed. One corner is broken — not by mistake, but as part of the process. I left it as it was: a reminder that interruption is part of making.
