Translations. Textured Sterling Silver Ring 3 (size 6)

One hand-carved and cast sterling silver ring. Designed and carved taking inspiration from rugged rock surfaces, and finished with a high polish to accentuate the natural, organic texture of this one-of-a-kind ring.

This ring is size 6.5 (Can/US) with an inner diameter of 17mm. If you don't know your ring size, you can either visit a local jewelry shop, or check out this helpful printable guide to finding your ring size at home (you will just need a printer - be sure to print at 100% scale). 

Process: Starting with jeweller's wax, I cut and sand the wax down to the rough shape. I then use a combination of woodworking tools, metal shaping tools, and heat to carve and manipulate the surface pattern. The wax components are then cast into sterling silver through the lost wax method, which is one of the oldest art techniques in the world. After the silver component comes from the mold, it requires a lot of sanding to remove the sprues and bring it up to a smooth surface. I then polish the piece with several steps of polishing compound grit, then give everything a quick soap and water bath.
