via Smith The Zig Zag Wide Ring

via Smith

About the designer:

The via SMiTH label is the shared love of creating - of both designer and maker.

Our pieces are the result of my love to ‘play’ with shape and form and our silver-smiths’ incredible skills to then interpret and create.

The name via SMiTH is simply because our pieces happen via Michelle SMITH and our silver SMITHS.

My whole life has been art.  Making, learning, teaching, producing and now selling.  There’s not been a time that I haven’t used art – for designing, for teaching, for building, and for work.  For me jewellery is wearable art and so must be well designed… simple but thoughtful, balanced but interesting, classic but new.

The via SMiTH shapes are my play on simple geometry, with the added fun of texture and colour. Layers and lines, silvers and golds, bold shapes and small - it’s a labour of love for me and hopefully a treat for you.

The Zig Zag Ring

This ring is the essence of the via SMiTH style – geometry.  A simple pattern of strong vertical and diagonal lines, soften with fine horizontal incisions.

The zigzag ring is a versatile one – it is bold enough to stand alone or be stacked along with some of our finer rings.  Starting with a 6mm alpha brass band, the handmade sterling silver triangles repeat to surround the entire band.

Band is approx. 6mm wide

Materials & Care

This ring is made of a combination of .925 sterling silver and yellow brass, therefore there will be NO fading or wearing of colour even if worn everyday.

If you leave/don't wear your ring for a while it may become a little dull or darker due to normal oxidisation.

In this case there's 3 options:

1. polish with the cleaning cloth supplied with your order/packaging.
2. a simple soft brush/rub with normal toothpaste will instantly brighten.
3. simply ear it! your ring will regain its sparkle in 1-2 days of normal wearing and washing.
