Sara Giordano | Shackle

Artist:  Sara Giordano, USA
Materials: Sterling Silver
Size: 7.5 (can't be resized, can be replicated)

Limited Edition

Artist Statement: This ring was made while feeling stuck, both creatively and physically due to the current climate. It's reminiscent of chains and armor that can feel limiting, but with a playful edge as a reminder to still look for the pockets of joy wherever they can be found. The four rings move with the hand and produce a fun clinking noise. 

Artist Bio: My work focuses on movement and clean lines. Every piece has a built in tactile component that is meant to be played with, whether that be spinning, sliding, or rotating. I work in hand fabricated sterling and fine silver, sometimes with semi-precious stones. 
After graduating from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, I currently work and reside in central Massachusetts creating my own jewelry while also working as both a jeweler’s studio assistant and a metalsmith for a costumer.
