Hafnium

Only known since 1923, hafnium is the last stable element to be discovered on Earth. Hafnium is one of the rarest materials found in the Earth’s crust and is a shiny, silvery, ductile metal. With my work, I want to talk about the language of materials and contribute to the understanding that each material has its own unseen potential. My metal patinatination process is the fruit of perpetual research, and the result of a slow and meticulous artisanal method, striving to achieve something that is both a wearable object and an artwork.

ASR JWLS Studio

With conventionally unwearable materials, uniquely textured designs and refined details, I wish to evoke a subtle sense of luxury, a fresh perspective on jewellery design. Minimalist yet sculptural and contemporary, I cultivate aesthetic with little adornment or embellishment, which parts ways with any typical visual motifs associated with jewellery. Still, with a deliberately simplistic design statement, I remain embedded in unique jewellery making techniques, epitomising material restraint and craftsmanship. Created with Earth’s rarest materials and a burning passion for quality, my handmade jewels reflect my pursuit of raw, spontaneous beauty as well as commitment to sustainability.

Size Guide

To help you make sure you order the right size, please use the ring size conversion table below.

How To Measure

The Hands-on Method

Grab a tape measure, length of string or strip of paper.
Wrap it around the finger you’ll wear your ring on—if you’re creating a ring stack, consider where on your finger the ring will sit—and mark the place where it joins.
Lay your string or paper strip on a flat surface and use a ruler to measure the length up to the mark. Use the chart above to match the measurement to the closest ring size.

Measure an Existing Ring

Choose a ring that already fits your finger well.
Measure the interior diameter of the ring in millimeters (mm).
Use the measurement chart above to match the size of your ring to the closest size in mm.

Please note that manual methods of determining the size may result in inaccuracies.

If you are unsure of your ring size please visit a local jewellery store to have your finger size measured by a professional or contact us for alternative ways to measure your ring size.

Refractory metals

Refractory metals are a class of metals that are extraordinarily resistant to heat and wear. Tantalum, niobium and hafnium all belong to this group. They all share some properties, including an extraordinary melting point above 2200 °C, high hardness and a relatively high density. They are chemically inert, like precious metals such as platinum and gold, which means they are perfectly compatible with the human body and do not cause staining, like silver or brass. Because of their high melting point, refractory metal components are never fabricated by casting.

With my work, I want to talk about the language of materials and contribute to the understanding that each material has its own unseen potential. My metal patinatination process is the fruit of perpetual research, and the result of a slow and meticulous artisanal method, striving to achieve something that is both a wearable object and an artwork. My work highlights the poetic force of the accident in which the creative process is irregular and unpredictable. This is how all of my designs were invented, born out of experimentation, now inscribed in my identity. With the aim to preserve the technological secrets, I keep the processing of the materials undisclosed.

Gemstones are vulnerable to impact and they may damage if badly knocked or dropped.
