Intro
This article reflects on the conceptual and material inspirations behind Victoria’s King's latest collection of rings, which pay homage to some of humanity’s earliest technologies: stone tools. The pieces are on display as part of the Tincal Lab Challenge 2025 in Porto, Portugal, from November 15th to December 31st, 2025. Now in its 11th edition, this initiative invites reflection on the theme Jewellery and Celebration, bringing together works by 81 artists from 32 countries, each created exclusively for this event.
