In this physical world, there is always space for surprise, wonder, and the unique magic of opals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Bio: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlejandro Palencia, Colombian artisan and contemporary jeweler, creates structured and symmetrical pieces using precious metals and hand-pulled wire. Alejandro’s early experiences as a street artisan have inspired his contemporary collections and his continued use of wire wrapping and filigree. The precision and movement can be attributed to Alejandro’s inspiration in pre-Colombian art and his admiration to the repetitive patterns in fractals, nature's sacred geometry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTeam Shanks - Representing Team - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/danacadesign.com\/pages\/jurors-battle-of-the-rings-2026\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSusie Ganch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"315\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/EQumNBoPFiA?feature=share\"\u003e\n\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ring is part of Battle of the Rings: Ring Smackdown 2026, an exhibition and online competition.
