Entry Description

This choker draws from the symbolism of the first engagement ring, which historically represented the constraints of marriage for women. By reinterpreting this, the artist challenges traditional norms. Crafted from sterling silver using traditional techniques, the piece signifies empowerment and liberation, celebrating the autonomy of women and encouraging reflection on gender roles.
