An iconic IPPOLITA form, the circle begins with a simple idea, then changes in the hand. Warm wax pressed to the body captures its natural curves; that impression becomes metal, shaped into a sculptural form. Wavy discs and circles carry the memory of the body in their contours. Some are finished with a field of pavé diamonds, hundreds of stones following the undulating surface until the mechanics disappear and the form reads as light. The result is a shape that holds both geometry and gesture—simple in outline, unmistakably IPPOLITA.
