Torafu Architects

A wedding ring which gradually changes its appearance as it is worn.
Coated on the surface of the gold ring is a thin layer of silver, and as time passes the silver rubs off to reveal the gold inside. The time shared between two people can thus be felt with the wearing of this ring.

As a result of the shape of the ring section, which comes in either round or square, the gold is revealed in different ways.
