XXg Ring (20 gram ring)
(0.962g wax x 10.4 = 10g Sterling Silver) + (0.862g wax x 11.6 = 10g 9ct gold) = XXg.
In November 2018, e.g.etal hosted its most ambitious exhibition yet, celebrating the gallery’s 20th anniversary. Over 60 artists each designed a special piece, an item of jewellery inspired by the roman numeral for 20: XX.
XX is written as 10+10. Therefore I wanted to create a piece that embodies this idea. Tow halved equal by weight, yet different in volume. 10g of silver fused together with 10g of gold via the ‘twice-cast’ process, their shape and proportions moulded naively, secondary to the concept, yet functional as a ring, with its name roughly carved into its face.
