Vancouver, British Columbia-based jewelry brand Daruda Trading Co. recently debuted their sterling silver Engraved Band No. 1 ring, designed by the brand's co-founder and lead designer Nico Daruda . Nico's vision for the Engraved Band No. 1 ring was to create a piece that not only boasted a maximalist texture but was also incredibly comfortable to wear. The unique texture of the ring serves a dual purpose, as it also functions as a fidget device. The ring features four distinct textures, each carefully segmented on the band. The textures are a delightful combination of geometric and free-flowing shapes, meticulously hand-carved by Nico onto jeweler's wax before being cast into sterling silver. While Daruda Trading Co. receives considerable acclaim for their other products, which they place a greater emphasis on, the creation of rings allows the brand to indulge in their creative expression and explore exciting and playful designs. However, this wasn't always the c...
