His work was shown at Expo 58, among other events, and several of his pieces of jewellery are now in the collection of DIVA in Antwerp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ring has a wide, open band in sterling silver. On top of the ring is a raised, organic square element with recessed turquoise-blue enamel. The bright blue creates a strong contrast with the smooth silver and makes the simple design instantly recognisable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe band measures approximately one centimetre wide at the top and gradually narrows towards the opening at the bottom.

The opening at the bottom is part of the design and does not need to be completely closed when worn. Strong or repeated bending is not recommended, especially to avoid unnecessary stress on the silver and the enameled element.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the inside are the initials of Mies De Wilde.
