Fur-lined Cubic Pinky Ring

I originally enrolled in Fine Crafts with the intention of becoming a jeweler and cutler. As I became more attracted to media arts, and realized I wasn’t up for a career working craft shows and making production work, my jewelry became less practical and more conceptual.
This 1979 fur-lined cubic pinky ring was inspired by Meret Oppenheim’s 1936 “Object”.
Stirling silver, cut and polished quartz crystal and rabbit fur. In the collection of the artist’s wife.
