The Drapé Ring by Richard Wu, designer and jewelry artist from China.”The Drapé Ring originated from an exploration of metal’s texture. Metal is typically hard and cold to the touch, yet jewelry should be capable of carrying the wearer’s rich emotions. So I attempted to express softness and fragility through metal—crafting thin sheets of metal to simulate the texture of fabric. The Drapé collection is the embodiment of this endeavor,” explained Richard Wu.
