Concrete and Steel Ring by Konzuk

Konzuk, a Canadian jewelry design firm, makes rings unlike any I’ve ever seen before. Their material choice is simple using primarily stainless steel and concrete. Wait, concrete? For a ring? No doubt, a great deal of experimentation was performed to make concrete an essential ingredient in their rings. The effect, as you can see in the picture above, is that the ring is like wearing a finely crafted piece of dirt on your finger sandwiched between steel. This is every architect’s dream. I know when I was married two years ago I searched everywhere for a ring such as this. My compromise was to buy a ring from the German Jewelry company of Carl Dau.

    First to hear about a ring made of concrete. This is interesting and I guess revolutionary. This is cool

    Not my first choice. If I wanted a ring that represented what I love about being an architect, it wouldn’t be a clunky hunk of dirt with edges that look kinda sharp.

    Looks like a Bell & Ross BR01 watch case.

    Brandon,

    Where did you purchase the Carl Dau ring? I have visited his website, love his work, but have only found one gallery in the US (Durham, North Carolina) that carries his line. I am in Chicago and would like to see several of his rings in person. Can you help?

    I bought my ring here in San Francisco at Stewart Moore
