This ring is based on the traditional Korean butterfly knot, extending beyond a static form to capture the movement of a living butterfly. A spring mechanism is incorporated, allowing the butterfly’s wings to fold and unfold, creating the impression of a living presence, as if the butterfly is gently breathing.
When worn, it evokes the moment a butterfly comes to rest on the finger. The bold form of the butterfly knot delivers a mysterious and visually striking sculptural experience.
The structure is inspired by a hair clip mechanism, allowing the ring to be worn without size constraints. Its adjustable form adapts flexibly to the wearer’s finger, enhancing both comfort and versatility while simultaneously embodying sculptural and functional expansion.
The listed price corresponds to the version crafted in 92.5% sterling silver. A gold-plated brass version is also available at KRW 190,000.
This work goes beyond using traditional knotting as a decorative element, seeking instead to expand it into a form that embodies movement and responsiveness.
This piece is constructed with a spring mechanism. Please avoid applying excessive force or opening it beyond its intended range, as this may cause deformation or damage to the structure.
Although the ring is adjustable, repeated or excessive adjustments may lead to metal fatigue. It is recommended to adjust the size carefully and only within the necessary range.
Sterling silver may naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air and sulfur. When not in use, it is recommended to store the piece in a sealed container to minimize contact with air.
Prolonged exposure to water, sweat, and humidity may affect the luster of the metal. Proper care is advised during wear.
