Impurity Ring: BROKEN HYMEN
The “Broken Hymen” Impurity Ring is a hand-fabricated sterling silver band with stamped text coloured with liver of sulfur. These simple bands are comfortable and great for everyday wear.
Impurity Rings refer to and deconstruct the concept of purity rings — a cultural phenomenon and symbol of abstinence. The sterling silver designs alter the text or iconography of purity rings, like a budding rose modified to a blossoming vulva-like version or stamped text which reads “impurity” instead of “purity.” The intent is to question the idea of purity in relation to sexuality and the body, and encourage everyday conversations and empowerment.
Approximate dimensions: 1.9 x 1.9 x 0.83 cm
