1998

Italy

A sensuous, functional objet d’art from visionary designer Betony Vernon, the Yoyo Massage Ring blurs the boundary between adornment and ritual. Designed in 1998, the sculptural sterling silver piece is worn between the index and middle fingers, becoming an extension of the hand. The mirrored discs glide across the skin, while the removable upper disc can be used independently as a tactile massage tool. Balancing jewelry, ritual object, and collectible design, the piece reflects Vernon’s longstanding exploration of intimacy, touch, embodiment, and functional sculpture.
