Creative speculation over global sustainability matters and pursuit of finding a probable solution against planned obsolescence, led to the creation of this curiously ordinary, fabulously ridiculous timeless object, intended to serve not only with its aesthetic or practical purposes but as provocateur of subtle emotional reactions. This design represents a conceptual silver goblet ring, intended to be used, both as a statement jewellery piece and a tableware embellishment.
