ceramics are fragile

you can’t wear a ceramic object

jewellery must be made of precious metals and stones, produced by precise, well-calibrated machines, preferably in series

but what if I told you about rings shaped one by one by my hands, using an organic material that absorbs the warmth of your skin on contact?

what if I told you about a form you can rotate around your finger to relax, one that shows you off in its extravagance while at the same time protecting you, like brass knuckles? 

and as for durability, what can we say about Egyptian vessels, shaped thousands of years ago, that are still capable of preserving grains of wheat?

of course, I wouldn’t throw my jewellery forcefully onto the ground, just as I wouldn’t do so with a plate, a puppy, or myself

so if I asked you now whether you’d like to try a piece of ceramic jewellery, what would you say?
