A casual visit to Shing’s atelier on a Thursday afternoon sparked an unusual collaboration. What happens when the artist is challenged to interpret a song into a piece of jewellery? Aptly, the track named “Thursday Afternoon” by Brian Eno was chosen at the eleventh hour before the meeting.

After listening to the song on repeat mode, the ring entitled “Shard” was composed, imbued deeply with an icy, ethereal ambience from the music.

In the same spirit that drives Eno to challenge the boundaries of his medium, Shing has manipulated her materials beyond convention by setting a piece of broken glass in an extremely thin silver sheet. The fragility of the piece is achingly juxtaposed against its sharp polished edges, evoking a mood reflective of Eno’s cold soundscapes.
