Plastic

Looking back on my studies at DUT I found the beginnings of my excursions into alternative materials with silver in jewellery began when we did the 'Conceptual' stage. When the question became, "What is a ring?" Ie does it have to be round? Does it have to be metal? This is where many of the students really found their own styles.

I started experimenting with diferent ways of encircling the finger with some material or another. It soon became clear to me that I liked the idea of a flexible shank rather than a solid one. I tried leather and then plastic. I rather liked the plastic.

These ideas eventually evolved into a range that I call 'Cyber'.
