The making

How the band was made

Five stages, from a tin in Kenyasi to the engraver's bench in Sunyani. Their story is in the metal.

  1. The gold

    01 · The gold

    A nugget from Kenyasi, bought by Kwabena's grandfather in 1981 and kept in a tin for the first grandson to marry. He is the first grandson.

  2. The melt

    02 · The melt

    Melted in Sunyani by the goldsmith who made both their mothers' rings. He asked for the date before he asked for the size.

  3. The cast

    03 · The cast

    Poured into a band. They met in a queue at the Regional Hospital in 2021, both there for somebody else, and left with each other's numbers.

  4. The polish

    04 · The polish

    Three years of the Sunyani to Accra road every other weekend, until she moved up for good. The polishing takes longer than the casting.

  5. The engraving

    05 · The engraving

    Cut on the inside, where only the two of them will see it. He proposed with the ring unengraved and asked her what it should say. This is what she said.
