Olympic gold forever - a ring by Nicolien Sauerbreij

Nicolien Sauerbreij won during the Olympics Games 2010 in Vancouver a gold medal for snowboarding and she wanted this gold always to be with her.

 

According to Nicolien is such a medal just a cold thing. One day Nicolien woke up and she knew what she wanted to do with it: making a ring of it.

She created a jewel by taking only half a millimeter of her gold medal, it was enough to keep the medal intact and still make something special.

The Olympic logo of five rings is processed in the piece. Not only a great athlete but also very creative! I think a lot of Olympians will follow her example...
