Added to my series of Instagram posts recently made for Garland Magazine<\/a> was a post so big it also became an article! The Battle of the Rings (or Ring Smackdown as it’s otherwise known) is a competition run by Danaca Design jewellery studio in Seattle. This now annual competition was started in 2020 as a way for jewellers to exhibit and connect despite the pandemic, but has grown to include a live exhibition of all the rings in the battle at the new Danaca gallery in Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have read my Garland piece<\/a>, you will know that I committed to entering a ring into the contest this year, as I basically put it, not to win, but to be more ‘social’ in my use of social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drumroll….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was juried in! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check out my ring and all of the other 63 contenders on the Danaca Design Battle of the Rings \/ Ring Smackdown 2022 page<\/a>. Yup, 64 is a LOT of rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow @danacadesignstudio<\/a> on the ‘gram and as Dana (of Danaca Design – yes – her name is Dana Cassara…) suggests, follow the #ringsmackdown hashtag to make sure you don’t miss a post once the contest goes live. As I can attest from last year, the pesky algorithm will not always<\/em> serve you all<\/strong> of the pairings up for vote that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to jurors Elizabeth Shypertt (curator, formerly of Velvet da Vinci) and Jim Dailing (jeweller and educator) for letting me through. As per another part of my article, I look forward to going out in the first round!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
