‘Be Good and Play’

£406.00

Alena Štukavcová Doležalová’s exhibition piece, the ‘Be Good and Play’ ring, is a game. The principle is that you need to get the small metal ball from the upper amber bowl to the lower one. It is an extravagant piece of jewellery – a tool for practicing attention and patience. We all need to laugh!
The ring is made of forged sterling silver wire, deep etched bronze and hand carved amber. Amber bowls are fixed in a silver bed, and through the middle of them passes a silver tube through which the balls fall.
