Code Ring is a silver ring with a detachable inner shank. The inner part holds a stone and can be worn as a separate ring. The outer shank can also be worn alone, so one piece becomes two. The stone is set in the upper gallery with thin golden prongs that recall capillaries around a heart. The organic form of the inner prong contrasts with the simple outer shanks. The stone is made of natural materials, and no chemical colors or substances are used in production. The ring is handmade in silver, following an old jewelry craft tradition in Iran.
