Five people, one ring

We sent the Nodo ring to five people and asked them to wear it for a month.

No brief, no styling notes. Just a ring and a request: wear it however you like, and send us a photo at the end.

Ines, ceramicist.

Ines wore it on a chain around her neck for most of the month — clay and silver do not mix. It came back with a little glaze dust in the knot. She asked to keep it.

Jun, cyclist.

Jun moved it between hands depending on which glove was wearing through. By week three it lived on his little finger.

“It ended up on the finger I least expected.”

Mara, night-shift nurse.

Mara wore it on her days off only, which made it, in her words, "the weekend ring". It is the only piece she wears outside of work.
