Unique Properties
This ring also has the function of burning incense.
When the ring is worn as a piece of jewellery, the elegant organic form of the ring becomes visible.
When the wearer is fatigued, the jewellery is removed, and the ring becomes an incense burner. Then incense is inserted into the ring in the shape of a mountain, the top of which emits stretches of smoke, at which point the wearer enters a scene of mountain watching and meditation.

The collection combines elements of prehistoric and contemporary artefacts with the innovative technology Flowing Lithography Ceramic to balance the aesthetic characteristics of Chinese complexity and abstraction. Yao Xiong combines high-tech ceramic with special handcrafted techniques to create jewellery pieces inviting the viewer to follow the decorative movement visually and spiritually contemplate the abstract white space.
