MM STUDIO Molten Wide Band Ring
A sculptural wide band with softly irregular contours, inspired by molten metal in motion. Bold in proportion yet smooth in finish, it makes a confident statement.
Crafted in 18ct gold-plated recycled brass, this piece reflects MM Studio’s direction - expressive, experimental and intentionally fashion-led.

18ct Gold Plated Recycled Brass
Our MM Studio pieces are crafted from recycled brass and finished with a layer of 18ct gold plating, creating bold, sculptural jewellery with a rich gold finish.
The brass provides strength and structure, while the gold plating gives each piece its warm, luminous tone. As the gold sits on the surface, it will gradually wear with friction and contact over time and may require re-plating to restore its original finish.
MM Studio FAQs
MM Studio pieces are crafted from recycled brass and finished with a layer of 18ct gold plating. Gold plating is a process where a thin layer of real 18ct gold is bonded to the surface of the brass using an electroplating technique. This creates the rich, warm gold tone on the outside, while the brass beneath provides strength and structure.
Because the gold sits as a surface layer rather than running through the metal, it will naturally soften and evolve over time with friction, moisture and wear. This is part of the nature of plated jewellery and why MM Studio is designed for occasional, considered wear.
Solid gold is made entirely from gold alloyed with other metals for strength, meaning the gold runs all the way through the piece. It is designed for everyday wear and long-term durability.
18ct gold-plated jewellery, by contrast, has a base metal (in our case, recycled brass) with a thin layer of real 18ct gold bonded to the surface. While it offers the same rich gold tone, the gold sits on the exterior and will naturally wear over time. This makes gold-plated jewellery ideal for statement, occasional pieces rather than permanent, everyday wear.
Gold plating is a surface finish and will naturally soften or fade over time, especially with friction, moisture and daily wear. This is expected and part of the material’s lifecycle.
The lifespan depends on how often the piece is worn and how it is cared for. MM Studio jewellery is designed for occasional, considered wear rather than everyday use.

Yes. We offer a professional re-plating service, at an additional cost, to refresh the gold finish if it softens over time.
