ALONG THE JOURNEY Mapuche Detachable Horsehair Ring

A round flower woven from horsehair sits on this silver ring, held in place by a traditional Miao plum blossom screw. Twist the screw to remove the horsehair for easy cleaning, or wear the silver ring on its own: several ways to wear one piece.

Along the Journey follows the Miao migration routes all the way to the Andes, where Mapuche herders weave the manes of their horses into delicate patterns. Here the horsehair flowers are handwoven by Chilean artisans and joined to plum blossom fittings in matte white 925 silver, a traditional Miao motif: a dialogue across continents, designed in Paris.

• Material: 925 silver; handwoven horsehair
• Size: horsehair flower r = 30 mm
• Technique: horsehair handwoven by Chilean artisans; Miao plum blossom screw
• Wear: the horsehair flower detaches
• Collection: Along the Journey

This piece is made of 925 silver with our signature matte white finish. The matte surface comes from high-temperature firing. It is not a plating or coating.

As you wear it, the silver will gradually polish to a bright shine, or oxidise and darken. Both are natural. Silver oxidises slowly over time, and this cannot be avoided.

Store your pieces in a sealed bag or airtight space to slow oxidation. If the silver darkens, use a silver cleaning solution or polishing cream. Soak the piece in cleaning solution for one minute, rinse with clean water, then dry, ideally with a hair dryer. The silver will return to a bright finish.

Horsehair care: remove the horsehair elements and wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking horsehair in water.
