Handcrafted silver ring, set with yellow reflector. Irregular and dagger-toothed, this heart shaped ring was inspired by Egon Schiele’s sharp drawing style and Heather Davis’ notion of ‘techno-fossils.’

Each ring is individually fabricated, so subtle variations are part of the character of the piece. Sizes are fixed, but can be stretched, or remade - please let me know your desired ring size when ordering. Ships in a velvet-embroidered pouch with Royal Mail (tracked).

Sizing: I always recommend visiting your local jewellers to get sized. You can also easily purchase ring sizers online and size yourself at home, or alternatively, contact me and we can arrange a fitting.

“Petro-time describes the compression of time, through the bodies of the long-dead plants and animals, into oil. When burned or used in plastics, this geologic compression of time is then unleashed. For even though oil, through plastic, participates in the time-eating acceleration that characterises petrocapitalism, it is also one of the main residues of this time: techno-fossils and petrochemicals refuse to disappear, and will continue to haunt and exist intergenerationally.”

“{Plastic} was once described by Vice Magazine as ‘shark dick.’ I’m not sure exactly why, but I like the description because it speaks to the sexiness, the appeal, and the utter repulsion of the texture of plastic all at once.”

- Heather Davis in conversation with Kris Dittel and Clementine Edwards, The Material Kinship Reader (2022)
