These technically tricky to make rings are the contrasts of the collection. Self-conciously monochrome these bold rings rely on the regularity of the lines and geometric shapes of the oxidised silver ring shank contrasting with the soft luminescene of the pearl for its effect.

These easy to wear rings are also available in palladium, a metal with similar properties to platinum. These rings have a much more polished look and are made with finer wire and smaller pearls for a more delicate look.
The inspiration behind these rings are the inner workings of the racing car and the contrasting smooth fluidity of its outer bodywork. The silver representing the inner flow of machinery with the oxidisation implying a hands on oilyness and the pearl the sleek outer body. The inner parts of the car often show on the outside so it often appears the silver runs through the pearl.
