Stripe Ring – Tantalum & Gold

Tantalum, 9ct yellow gold

Drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as Andrei Tarkovsky, Amon Tobin and Dr Seuss, Sean’s contemporary jewellery is an abstraction of the forces that are present in his life and self. His work employs stainless steel, tantalum, gold, ball bearings and engineering bits and pieces crafted by a metal lathe, a TIG welder, a 3-phase metal linisher and a hammer among other things…the work that results is an elegantly simple expression of form and movement. In Sean’s own opinion, his pieces fall somewhere between being jewellery and tools.
