Described
as "Scandinavian with an English viewpoint", this geometric black
square ring from The Conduct of the Understanding collection is modern
simplicity at its finest, however the concept and symbolism is absorbingly
fascinating, delving into the complexity of the human psyche and its role in
conformist society. The ring symbolises an individual whose own opinionated thought
process and original ideas is a preventative from fitting into any niche groups or a role in mass society. This
intriguing concept is simplified by using linear and geometric shapes such as
squares and circles, two shapes that will never fit together, or belong.
Maybe
this is an indicative expression of anti-mass produced and monetised commercial
jewellery brands, or maybe it's telling me I am one of those individuals that
doesn't fit into any niche groups in society, all because my focused interest lies in independent
jewellery designs instead of something that can be easily spotted in the high
street?
If
that's the case then I am a square ring.
