‘Solitaire Ring Sizer’ is an assemblage of 36 silver solitaire rings, a bangle and a chain bracelet. Together they form an object that refers to a tool used by jewellers to measure people’s ring size. But instead of corresponding with standard sizes that usually range from 41 to 76, these rings give an indication of the most common ring sizes, ranging from 53 to 62. By replacing the ring sizer’s slick, industrially made rings with worn, unique rings made from precious materials, a functional tool becomes a poetical object.
