"Switch", is a movable and playful ring inspired by the rocker switch, which is an electrical switch that you press on one side to turn a device on and the other to turn it off. Each phase of the plate lets the diamond remain invisible when you don’t need it but when you do, it becomes a sculptural presence in the finger. The ring is finely handcrafted with genuine 925 sterling silver in high polished finish. "Switch" ring is behaving much like the to be concealed the diamond or to be found by one or more seekers.
