Concept
Bronze historically precedes both gold and silver in technological development. It represents foundation rather than prestige.
Within Tricolore, bronze is not positioned as lower tier, but as structural beginning.
This ring emphasizes durability and continuity.
Material
This ring is not solid bronze.
It is made from the ceramic-concrete composite developed for Post-Colonial Gold, finished in a bronze tone.
The value lies in transformation, not in metal content.
Specifications
Material: ceramic-concrete composite with bronze-tone finish
Ring sizes: EU 16–19
Weight: approx. 18–24 grams (depending on size)

Each ring is unique.
Growth Mechanism
Tricolore operates within a circular value model.
When choosing to upgrade to a more complex or higher-priced work within the series, the original purchase value remains active. The previous ring can be returned and its purchase price deducted from the new work.
Returned pieces are reabsorbed into the studio process.
Ownership is temporary.
Value remains in circulation.
Use & Care
Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, and chemical products.
Store separately to prevent scratches.
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Surface wear may develop over time — this enhances the character of the work.
This ring is a sculptural object. Handle with care.
