MALUS RING
DESCRIPTION
The Malus Ring reinterprets the form of a bitten crab apple — a symbol of imperfection and restraint drawn from the Malus genus of trees. Cast in solid sterling silver, raw brass, or hand-enameled brass, the ring’s surface carries the weight of oxidation and texture, mimicking the irregular skin of fruit left to weather. Its sculpted bite exposes a smooth interior, creating a contrast between erosion and form.
Each piece is individually cast and finished, with the enameled version featuring a silver bite set against a red enamel exterior. The result is a form both literal and abstract — wearable as a relic, yet grounded in the language of natural decay and permanence.
