{"product_id":"honey-jade-effect-ring-on-marble-column-resin-sculpture-80cm","title":"Honey Jade Effect Ring on Marble Column Resin Sculpture - 80cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pierced ring in a honey jade-effect material, mottled and lightly veined, held clear of its column on two slim metal posts. The opening through the middle is a little under half the diameter, so what remains is a broad ring rather than a hoop. The marble column beneath it is part of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Posts Are the Whole Engineering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo thin posts under a ring of this weight look like a mounting detail and are in fact the reason the piece works. A ring sitting flat on a column has the column filling its opening, so the hole stops being a hole and becomes a dark disc; everything the form is for goes. Lift it clear and the opening fills with whatever is beyond, which is what a pierced disc was always meant to do. The posts then have to be slim enough to disappear and stiff enough to hold a heavy ring against someone knocking it, which is a genuine conflict and is settled by setting them wide apart rather than by making them thicker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 80cm on its column it belongs where people pass rather than where they sit, and it needs something worth seeing through the opening: a doorway, a window, a run of space. Against a wall the whole argument above is lost. Light from behind is what the jade effect wants, since the material is translucent at the thin places and opaque at the mottled ones, and that difference is only visible with something behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Ring, the Column, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. The ring is cast at other diameters, the posts are made longer or set closer, and the column is offered in other heights and finishes. A colourless ring is made and is a sharper, more modern object that gives up the mineral reference entirely. A tabletop version on a short stand is also built. It travels in two cases, the column braced upright and the ring packed flat and faced, and two people handle the column. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pierced ring borrowed from jade belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the slim posts that lift it lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a ring held up to frame a doorway joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\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\u003e5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 x 40 x 75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJade Effect Cast Resin with Brass on Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069529379163,"sku":"X215","price":2497.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X215.jpg?v=1790957238","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/honey-jade-effect-ring-on-marble-column-resin-sculpture-80cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
