The material is a jade effect, cream at one side and running through blue and mauve at the other, and the surface is polished. It stands on a black two-post stand, which comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Hole Is What Sets the Section\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting the centre out of a disc is not a decorative decision, it is a structural one, because what is left is a ring and a ring behaves nothing like a plate. A solid disc standing on edge carries its load straight down through the middle; a ring has to carry it around both sides of the hole and back together at the foot, so the two flanks become the whole of the structure. That is why the ring here is drawn broad rather than narrow, and why the opening sits a little above centre: it puts more material where the load arrives. The grade is placed with the same argument, the palest part of the material set where the ring is doing least.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 65cm it takes far less surface than its face suggests and will sit on a narrow console or a deep shelf. It has to be met square, since the opening closes to a slot from the side and the whole piece then reads as a slab. Light from behind is what the jade effect is for, running the cream nearly translucent while the blue stays dense. A pale wall behind it loses the opening; something darker gives the hole an edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Ring, the Grade, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder a standard piece and it takes 3–4 weeks; order it bespoke and it takes 5–6. The opening is cut wider or brought down to a small bore, the grade is set to run the other way, and the disc is cast at other diameters. A frosted surface is offered and turns the jade effect opaque, which suits a room with a strong window behind it. The stand is also made in steel or in stone. It leaves on edge in a flat crate with the opening braced across, the stand boxed beside it, and one pair of hands is enough. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ring cut from a solid disc belongs with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the jade effect is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and the cast body is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 x 13 x 3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJade Effect Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069247705435,"sku":"X175","price":2899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X175.jpg?v=1790956298","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-cream-jade-effect-pierced-disc-resin-sculpture-65cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
