Ring(contemprary)

Sterling silver ring, cable stitch, year made 2023

Although jewellery is the oldest form of expression, it also falls under the contemporary way in terms of jewellery making. Contemporary jewellery means a jewellery piece that is relevant or based on the current trends. My concept focuses more on the cable. In jewellery terms the word cable refers to a wire that is made of different precious metals. The above picture depicts a ring made out of sterling silver by Mzweni Tshongweni. It relates to the contemporary way of making jewellery because of the cable(wire) that is being used on the ring. Today cable is made in a much more delicate way in jewellery pieces.
