We Shall Be Released...Someday

“This piece was made for a casting class I took in the spring of 2008. The assignment was to [reinterpret] the wedding ring and to break normal notions of what the wedding ring is,” says Patrick Walter, a student at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. We Shall Be Released … Someday is cast and fabricated of sterling silver and copper. Brass and steel components complete the 1 3⁄4 x 1 1⁄2-in. (44 x 38 mm) ring. Photo by Jennifer Harris.

Unity

Oregon College of Art and Craft student Carol Salisbury created Unity of sterling silver and brass. She made the pendant to connect her to her three grandchildren. Four interior acrylic vials hold hair from each grandchild and herself. Salisbury painted miniature portraits of each of them from the back looking toward the center of the piece to adorn the outside of the 5 x 2 x 2-in. (12.7 x 5.1 x 5.1 cm) pendant.
