They are our take on the traditional worry stone - just the thing to keep within arm's reach on your desk when you need a little reassurance and to clean your hands of microbes naturally.
Iceland's volcanic stone inspired the unique design. As lava hardens, the various gasses trapped inside create bubble-shaped voids. These trapped bubbles of gas are called vesicles. We created an approximation of those bubble patterns using our hringpoki technique to create a mesmerizing design to both see and touch.
Hringpoki stones are made using copper or copper alloyed metals, which are naturally anti-microbial. Our copper, brass, and bronze stones are fabricated using lost wax metal casting and hand polished. Our steel+ stones are made additively - a process in which layered steel powder infused with bronze and heated in an industrial autoclave. This method gives each stone a unique stepping pattern that looks almost like the whorls of a fingerprint.
HRINGPOKI: hringur = circle/ring; poki = bag/pack
