Square shape ring

This is the first actual prototype of that ring I am currently working on. I it is made out of copper, titanium, and maisonette wood is inspired by geometric shapes. The first problem I encountered when I was making this prototype, is that I have to link square shapes from the center edges so that the ring is going to be proportional an stronger. The initially idea was to use the jump links to connect the square shapes with the thick wires on the sides. The other issue was the size and the number of the of the square shapes, because the entire ring is held together by this center square shapes.

The other issue with this prototype is that the wood on this design does not work well, so on my next prototype I am going to make it out metal only. I think that will also make the entire ring more stronger. I think now that I have pointed out this issues, I have to solve those problems on my next piece and the make the final piece.
