brand new from the monolith collection, this black and gold medallion ring is entirely handcrafted from raw brass and copper sheet. using the metalsmithing technique of puzzle or jigsaw inlay, the two metals are soldered together to form one continuous piece. this technique requires absolute precision when piecing the metals together--although a very meticulous process, the end result is well worth the effort as the beautiful contrast of the metals is so striking.
once the pieces are joined the ring is then forged, filed, polished, and then the copper is oxidised to a rich dark brown/black colour. to preserve its surface and protect the skin from any potential discolouration as is common with copper/brass, the ring is coated in a specially formulated lacquer for a durable finish. this piece is incredibly versatile making it the perfect staple for your accessories wardrobe.
//ring length: 25mm/1" band width: 8mm
//oxidised copper/raw brass has been coated in lacquer for durability and extended resistance to tarnish

the monolith collection
influenced by the presence and impact of a singular, solid form developed over time under the strength of the sun, the monolith collection is meant to inspire one to feel peaceful and whole yet bold and powerful. not powerful in the egotistical sense but rather the internal power that comes from feeling courageous and open to this day and what it may bring—perhaps to invite others in or say yes to adventure. to let go of fear and embrace the unknown.
the contrast of black and gold permeates most of the collection not only referencing the passage of time as night and day but also symbolizing increased personal power, relaxation, and success through the warmth of the gold tempered by the black which opens the door to mystery and hidden potential.
chelsey adams jewellery is entirely handmade using traditional metalsmithing techniques with a contemporary, minimal aesthetic. the aim is to create pieces which are bold enough to create impact yet simple enough to be worn everyday. these special, sophisticated pieces are crafted from humble, accessible materials to ensure the work isn’t perceived to be too precious to see regular wear as the intention is for the work to be incorporated into a greatly edited, mindful wardrobe.
