Bright Pinion Ring

The fibers that support a petal-like bracht of pinon wind around the finger in a graduated band.

Solid sterling silver polished to a bright finish with a high polish back piece

14mm widest width.

The Pinion Ring is a beloved favorite in the Merzatta collection -- it looks like an effortless collection of thin stackables, yet sits comfortably on the hand as the threads taper together to the back of the finger.  It's summery in its lightness and thin enough to keep on with gloves.  The Pinion Ring is a likely everyday part of your jewelry uniform. 

Pinion Collection

Collected in Nevada. We noticed a decaying pinecone on the ground and took in the vein structure that is inside each frond. Now, we carve the pattern out of pinecones and love to share that eureka moment with people that come to shows or the store. Anytime you see a stripe pattern in our work, it is carved from the interior of the single frond of a pinecone.

We didn’t expect to find a beautiful organic pattern inside a decaying pinecone. But hiking in Nevada, we noticed one lying on the ground, with so much of its structure worn away that the striking pattern of veins that feed each petal-like bract were exposed. To us, the pattern of these petals of a pinecone is a perfect reminder of the things that can only be revealed by time, and how many wonders of the world are waiting for us, the instant we look past the surface.
