*This Ring Can Be Resized.

Machines built the world we know today. But when machines emerged, they were nothing short of magical. Early models spurred industries and opened up economic opportunities. They were also a key inspiration for designers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as taste turned to the cutting edge of newness and novelty. The masses were enamored of what machines could do and wanted adornment to reflect these innovations.

The word "machine" emerged around the 1500’s, adapted from the Latin word “machina”, which in turn came from Greek. Initially, machines referred to almost any device, but as technology progressed the word became associated more specifically with complex mechanical systems, such as engines and industrial equipment.

Today, the influence of machines and industrial imagery can still be seen in contemporary jewelry design, as artisans continue to draw inspiration from the ever-evolving world. A sleek, streamlined design—with organic details and fine materials—gives a truly singular look in the form of this chunky, awesome ring.
