charlotte fontaine: bioresin bague

Sign up here to receive the DAM newsletter.

Charlotte Fontaine is a young jewelry artist from Geneva, Switzerland working with a form of the bio resin that we looked at last month here. I’m not sure, but I think those are flowers captured in the resin.  These rings remind me of snowglobes – I’m trying to figure out if the open setting, like the one shown here, would make a ring of that size more or less comfortable on your finger.  What do you think?

I experiment by playing with metal and mixing different types of materials. By seeing the contrast between raw matter coming out of the oven, a flower, a seed or a shape made out of wax and the softness that comes from this shape, which is the essence of my work.

    I love the top ring with the flower. It’s beautifully done with just the silver, white flower in the clear resin. Her work is gorgeous and inspiring. I looked at your last post and it makes me want to take my drills out and play! Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful artrist.
