Tulle
Tulle
A half-millimetre sheet of gold pierced by hand into hundreds of minute hexagonal cells, so the metal reads like net lace.
Antifer
A band with one sharp peak, named after a Normandy cliff, repeated row on row until the ring becomes a ridge.
Tulle is made by taking gold away; Antifer by raising it to a point. Mario Buccellati's 1920s technique pierces a thin gold sheet into a hexagonal mesh so fine it reads like Venetian needlework, each plate sawn by hand over close to a month. Gaia Repossi's 2013 ring takes a single sharp peak from a cliff on the Channel coast and multiplies it into rows. Tulle dissolves the band into air; Antifer builds it up into a ridge.
