The Trapped Soul Ring is a signet in 925 sterling silver whose face carries a human figure pressing out from inside the metal, as though caught behind the surface and pushing against it. The figure is worked from within the panel rather than added on top of it.That is the whole idea of the piece: the ring is not carrying a portrait, it is holding a figure in. The surface around it is left raw and unpolished, which keeps the figure looking pushed into rough ground. It stands for the struggle to get free and to be seen, worn as a symbol rather than as a religious piece.
