Santiago files sterling silver by hand into a fine dust that she then fuses together within hand-carved graphite ring molds. The resulting ring retains the granularity of its material, which shimmers when it catches the light. This labor-intensive, experimental process is unique to Santiago, each time creating a totally unique piece of art.

This piece was included in surroundings, Jolynn Santiago's solo exhibition at Brooklyn Metal Works (Sept. 13 - Nov. 9, 2025).
