The Ring is made out of money and is to be worn on people’s hands, fingers, necks, bodies, and body parts. It can also be positioned on objects or hung on chains to make people’s eyes happy. Artisanal production based in the last standing building of Berlin wall, developed by Mark Boombastik and Vogelstrauß (Johannes Wengel and Dmitry Paranyushkin). The rings are made out of Euro and pound sterling coins only and come in three sizes: L (£2 coin), M (€2 coin) and S (€1 coin).
