A sterling silver ring by Berntsen Hughes, Norway, with a wide, open band and a deeply textured front. The surface is built from layered, flowing lines that create an almost organic relief. The open band allows for slight adjustment.
The ring has a smooth inner curve and a comfortable weight on the hand. The surface shows light wear and a natural patina. Stamped Berntsen Hughes, Norway and 925S on the inside.
A strong modernist silver ring with real weight to it. The darkened grooves give it that slightly raw, worked feel we always come back to. Easy to wear day to day, with enough presence to stand on its own. We love pieces like this - the kind you reach for without thinking.
