«Conductivity» — a series of three accent rings inspired by electric current, wires, and technical connections. The collection explores the interplay between metal and wire. The core motif is the gradual accumulation of wires threading through a metallic form. The rigid structure contrasts with the fluid lines of the decorative cord, creating a sense of movement and entanglement. All three rings develop a single idea with varying degrees of saturation: from a more restrained object to a form almost entirely wrapped in wires.

Materials
The primary material for the rings is metal—a nickel-silver alloy with a silvery hue and a cool, industrial character. Black braided Shambala cord is used as an accent material, creating a contrast between the rigid metallic form and the flexible textile line.
The piece is first developed as a 3D model, after which a wax model is printed. Next, the form is transferred into metal using the lost-wax casting method. Following the casting, the piece undergoes manual finishing and polishing. In the final stage, the ring is complemented with a Shambala cord, which is threaded through the structural elements to complete the form.
Processing
After casting, the runner is removed from the piece. Then, the surface is manually leveled, cleaned, and polished. The final stage involves the manual addition of decorative elements.
