Pentozani
Sophia Vari Pentozani, 2022 White resin and yellow gold ring 3.5 x 7 cm Edition of 6 plus 2 AP Signed and numbered Make it Yours ♥ Pentozani, or Pentozalis, is a gravity-bending traditional dance from the Greek island of Crete, where traditional ways of life still hold strong in many areas of the island. The dance’s name is steeped in symbolism. Officially, it comes from the combination of the words five (penti) and step (zalos, Cretan dialect for step), therefore the dance can be translated as “five steps.” Additionally, the word zali can also stand for “dizziness,” indicating a dance that would make dancers dizzy ; it also symbolises the fifth zeal (that is, the step), that stands for the fifth attempt of the Greeks to liberate themselves from the Ottoman Turks.

Due in Uno
Giulio Paolini Due in Uno (‘Two in One’), 1967-2016 18 kt yellow gold ring Edition of 30 Signed and numbered Make it Yours ♥ Giulio Paolini’s first wearable art project has been ideated around the idea of love. The ‘Due in Uno’ (‘Two in One’) ring unites two gold rings in one piece, leading to an infinite line of movement. It was first conceived by Paolini in silver, in 1967 as a present to his wife and only two exemplars were made. ‘The ring consists of a line in movement that comes to an end at the same point from which it departed. Two rings, in this case, chase each other to show form and function as two equal things, or better one single thing’ – Giulio Paolini
