This ring is all about texture. Created with the sand casting process, it has a rustic finish that highlights all the irregularities of the sand it was made in. I press a ring pattern into a special kind of densely packed sand contained in a mold meant for casting metal. Then I melt down scrap in a crucible and pour it into the mold. The metal fills the void the pattern left in the sand and we have a ring! If it works...half the time the pour fails and I have to start all over and make the mold again. This is still a new-ish process for me, but I am getting the hang of it. For this particular ring, I melted a bit of 18k gold into the face to give a little glam to the rough looking silver and set a tiny black sapphire. The sapphire has hints of the deepest blue.
Made of reclaimed sterling silver and 18k.
Measurements: Ring fits size 6.5 as is, but it is adjustable up or down about a quarter size.
Ring comes in a hand-sewn drawstring gift bag made out of repurposed fabrics or an eco-friendly gift box.
