Emma Fortune | Toaster

Artist:  Emma Fortune, Canada
Materials: Sterling silver, patina
Size: 7.5 (Can't be resized)

One of a kind

Artist Statement: A lot of jewelry is designed to be timeless, elegant, and very serious.
This ring is a tiny toaster. The ring is hand fabricated with sterling silver. Complete with a lever so the toast can move up and down like the real thing. I like the idea that something precious and something completely ordinary can live in the same object. Because honestly, if a piece of jewelry can make you smile every time you look at it, it’s doing its job.
