‘cell’ ring in silver

 

 

 

 

‘cell’ is a jewellery collection that explores the pleating of precious metals to form a ring, earrings, necklace, and bracelet. the project is a result of a close collaboration between benjamin hubert and german jeweller, biegel.

 

the construction of the pieces is driven by a series of undulating soft folds in 0.4mm sheets of precious metal. the individual layers are soldered together to create a high strength to weight ratio based upon a honeycomb construction. the waste material from the production of each is melted down and recycled to make the next. the ‘cell’ works are available in sterling silver, gold, and platinum.
