The story: Because of its multiple properties that make it a material of choice in goldsmithing, gold has always fascinated. Its malleability allows jewelers to band it to their imagination. A technique still widespread to shape it according to their desire is hammering. In the fifth millennium BC, this method, which consists of carving a coin by striking it with a hammer, was already used to shape rich ornaments. From Europe to Asia, hammering is meticulously applied to the thinnest pieces. This is the case here with this ring, where hammering reveals the natural brilliance of gold by making it project light from all angles.
