Stacked bangle and band silver ring
 
This sterling silver ring for men finds its inspiration in the symbolism of “squaring the circle”. The reason why squaring the circle is an issue that many civilizations, since classical Greeks and the antique Rome, have tackled is because besides being an unsolvable mathematical equation, the symbolic problem is to succeed in bringing the matter (the square represents the created world, the matter) to the level of the circle (the infinite, celestial powers, knowledge) to spiritualize it, towards the divine. “Squaring the circle” is thus the true symbol of a poetic duality. 
 
This sterling silver ring for men combines two pieces. The first ring is a thick band in oxidized 925 sterling silver. The second one is a simple bangle ring in oxidized silver. The bangle ring is subtle although relatively thick, while the band ring is much more imposing due to its thickness. These two rings fit together perfectly to form a unique, contrasting stack, as the square edges of the band confronts the roundness of the bangle ring. 
 
Despite its profound resonance, this stack can be worn alone as an everyday jewelry or combined with other rings recalling those two elements.
 
Philip Oliver Paris’ way of wearing it : “I really like the spirituality of this stack which refers to a symbolism that I find in each of my travels. I usually wear this sterling silver ring for men on my right index finger, sometimes alone, but very often completed with another ring on my ring finger like the double-banded ring.”
