Tantalum & Rough Green Tourmaline Ring

One-of-a-kind ring composed of tantalum and rough green tourmaline from Brazil.

Muted melancholic tantalum patina reveals the captivating exclusivity of the tourmaline crystal exactly as if found in rock at the minesite in Brazil. The very fragility of the material demands extreme precision and detailed construct techniques, making this ring an authentic one-of-a-kind piece.

Tantalum is an exceptionally rare and durable metal used in advanced technologies such as aerospace, nuclear engineering, and surgical implants. Through meticulous artisanal patination techniques, its hidden aesthetic potential is transformed into wearable artworks that explore the expressive language of materials. Tantalum is particularly heavy, therefore the ring has a decent feel when worn. 

Rough tourmaline crystals are partially cut before they are tension set in niobium to precisely fit the width of a ring. Only particular size and shape crystals are each selected by the artist individually. 

Each piece is unique and entirely handcrafted by the artist. Patinated using self-developed undisclosed technology. Artisanal metalwork techniques are combined with experimental practices. There is no glue, artificial colouring or chemicals used in the process.
