After long and thoughtful handwork, the jeweler Walid Akkad has created a world of 21 animal rings.
The artist has sculpted from gold their essential shapes, mastering the alternate use of brush and polish, in the wake of some works by Pompon, Moore, Arp, or Brancusi…
This singular group of rings, who all stand on their own, animate a unique bestiary, that can also form a precious “cabinet of wonders“.
They live in front of you, dynamic and attractive, for the show and for your hands.
Bring the music and let them dance !
