Portrait Projecting Ring

Working with local jeweller Tamrakar, this ring was created for the wedding of Luke Jerram and Shelina Nanji.

In a darkened room, light from a candle or LED passes through the ring to project a series of portraits. A selection of miniature slides were made of different family portraits and inserted into the edge of the ring for projection.
