WEARABLE SCULPTURE.

Two bodies, with smooth and elegant lines, approach each other imposingly, unafraid to confront each other. Perhaps they will decide to twine around each other.

From the depth of the void at the center of the ring, a power emanates. It reminds us that our strength comes from a sincere knowledge of our being.

It is perfect as a wedding ring. But its versatility makes it perfect to wear in any situation.

Oteiza began to investigate what basque aesthetics was.

Observing the architecture, the craftsmanship, the customs, the mental and expressive structures, he noticed that everything is sober, unadorned.

He noted a puritanism and austerity that are best reconciled with an abstract aesthetic, with an artistic language of signs.

Basque artists and craftsmen, rather than figurative representations, were inclined towards a language of signs. Emptiness is praised.

The hollow is more important than the edges, the content more important than the container.

An evocative image:

** "itaxura" was a secret place in basque farmhouses (BASERRIA). It was the piece of land under the eaves of the roof: outside the house but sheltered by the roof. Unborn children, or those who had died without being baptised, were buried there, in the shadow of the house.

A non-place, a non-space, a very important gap indeed.

WEIGHT AND COLOUR.

It is 750/1000 yellow gold. Warm and beautiful due to the richness of the yellow tones and its reflections.

Its high gold content allows a magnificent patina to develop over time, which will show the signs of everyday life and thus become more beautiful.

It is 750/1000 gold. One delight of gold is its density. It is heavy.

Solid jewel, without hollow parts. It is heavy.

Deliberately heavy jewellery, but well weighted. It has the ideal weight. Wearability is a priority.

Your physical experience with the jewelry matches what your eyes expect. They weigh what they should weigh. Feeling its weight is the hidden pleasure.

To feel that something so small has so much power is a superlative experience.

It's not "heavy", it's just very pleasurable.

...and when you leave it at home, you'll miss it, you'll still feel its weight, you'll want to play with the ring, turn it on your finger. It's not on your finger, but you feel its weight. You feel its presence.

When you wear AI ESTANKONA jewellery, your identity is consolidated. And when you don't wear it, its absence remains.

The soft curvature and delicate edges guarantee a gentle and pleasant use.
