Commonly, the act of wearing jewelry is a mobile experience unique and meaningful to each individual wearer. Adornments become our personal property and ownership is claimed by the physicality of wearing. When jewelry is removed or stored away from the body, it exists in an alternate context but its meaning of connection remains.
The O Twist series introduces a secondary mode to wearing jewelry. The O Ring, when taken off can be stored and protected while carried inside the O Capsule.
