Material: Sterling Silver
Model: Ring
Size: Phalanx / Regular ring
Collection: NGEI
The GUNIN ring is part of the NGEI collection, inspired by the Kanak artefacts from New Caledonia, a small French island located in the Pacific. The concept of NGEI is to juxtapose the ancient artefacts next to their futuristic version and thus re-question the mutation/adaptation of customs. The research process behind the project has also been a way to come back to my roots, and re question the impacts of colonization on education and identity.
Each object contains specific references taken from travellers’ discovery diaries and traditional legends. The pieces then become much more than simple jewelry, they become futuristic artefacts; « charged with symbols that convey our past values and identities into the future. »
The GUNIN ring is inspired by the murex sea shells found on the sea coasts of New Caledonia. GUNIN is a high polished ring with an aggressive edge. GUNIN means "sand, beach" in Kanak dialect (New Caledonia).
The PHALLANX ring is 3,5cm long and the REGULAR ring is 6,5cm long.
