Friedrich Becker was a world famous goldsmith/sculptor. His minimalist ring design belies its unique combination of master craftsmanship and sculptural acumen. When worn, this ring's sapphire rectangle spins and twirls becoming vibrant and alive, and one with the wearer, which enables the design to meet its full potential.
