Metagolden's Ethereum Expedition ring will be part of the first auction presented by Sotheby's and Tiffany Dubin devoted solely to artist-made jewelry. The Art as Jewelry as Art Sale by Sotheby's is set to feature this phygital ring conceptualized by Francine Ballard of Metagolden and the buyer will get ownership over this next-gen jewelry piece in the real world as well as the metaverse. Uniquely, the digitally wearable asset appreciates in value independently from the physical item and it may be worn in the metaverse.
The one-of-a-kind 18k gold and emerald ring will be featured alongside artful jewelry pieces such as pendants by Picasso, earrings designed by Dalí and a piece by Man Ray. The phygital ring will be the only NFT auctioned and its form was inspired by geodesic domes and intercontinental rocket launches.
