THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
FUSED — the aesthetic of molten metal: pieces have no clear borders, angles or edges, and the whole surface is wavy and melted. Sometimes a piece is fully melted and made of silver alone; sometimes melted silver spreads across another material.

A cross with open spaces and rounded contours
Four silver arms join at the centre and reach the circular outer frame. The spaces between them remain open. The curved edges and uneven surface give Fused Cross its molten appearance: this is the visual language of FUSED, rather than a description of how the metal was heated. The broad band carries the form around the finger.
The ring is unplated 925 silver. Its Living Silver surface changes through contact with air and skin: recesses darken, while friction lightens raised areas. The photographs show the shape from several angles; use the side and rear views alongside the front view when considering the band.
Weight and fit for each inner diameter
The catalogue lists 16 mm — 3.7 g; 17 mm — 4.5 g; 18 mm — 5 g; 19 mm — 6 g; 20 mm — 7 g; 21 mm — 8 g; 22 mm — 9 g. These are the ring's weights, without packaging. The finished piece may vary slightly in weight.
The size selector uses the inner diameter in millimetres, not US ring sizes. Measure a ring that fits the intended finger, then follow the ring size guide. A broad band can fit differently from a narrow one. If your measurement falls between options, discuss it through Contact before ordering.
How Fused Cross compares with other silver rings
Choose by the outline and surface you want on the hand. Fused Cross leaves open spaces around the cross; the comparison below separates this form from the pointed THORN and the broad BRUTALISM bands.
| Ring | Form | Surface |
|---|---|---|
| Fused Cross | Openwork cross in a round frame | Living Silver |
| Thorn ring | Pointed, angular contours | Living Silver |
| Brutalism V.1 | Broad sculptural band | Living Silver |
| Brutalism V.3 | Broad sculptural band | Black oxidation |
Black oxidation means the silver has been darkened before wear. Fused Cross starts with an unplated silver surface that changes over time. Compare more outlines in the rings collection.
Wearing the cross and choosing it as a gift
Fused Cross is unisex; select it by the intended finger and the space you want the ring to occupy. For a single object on the hand, the circular frame and open cross provide the whole composition. With another ring, leave enough room between the bands to bend your fingers, and compare their height and width before choosing neighbouring fingers.
For a gift, find out the inner diameter of a ring the person already wears on the same finger. The weight also changes with size: a 22 mm Fused Cross is 9 g, while the 16 mm version is 3.7 g. Choosing the silhouette first and checking the size second gives you two concrete decisions. For a size outside the listed options, discuss Custom Order.
