Decoration and function - the working principle of a compression spring is that it is both a decorative and flexible element. The spring ring has three silver wires wound like a twisted compression spring. Another design and functional element are the two rods that fix the wires at their ends and in their position. The circumference of the spring ring can therefore be adjusted by one size. This creates both a bending and aesthetic tension, which is the essence of the piece of jewelry. The ring can also be worn by fingers with pronounced joints. The Italian designer couple has established themselves as an architectural duo and is known above all for their furniture and lighting design. Their industrial and constructive design style is also clearly evident in this piece of jewelry.
