This ring features an organic free-form sterling silver cup that holds a 6mm gray cultured akoya pearl. The pearl is set inside the organic looking silver cup on a gold post, so it is safe and secure. The band measures 2mm wide and 1.5mm thick. The pearl rises a comfortable, but dramatic 8.5mm above the finger. The sterling silver free-form cup measures approximately 9mm wide.
This ring is made by taking silver that I am going to recycle and heating it up in a crucible to its melting point. When it is a hot liquid I pour it carefully and slowly into a deep icy cold bath/bucket of water- this is one method of cleaning recycled gold and removing impurities. Normally this results in the metal forming a bunch of small pebble type shapes. On occasion, I am left with one of these amazing free form cup shapes. I reserve these for special rings which I make to hold a pearl. I solder these rare forms onto silver or gold bands to make this type of ring.
Makes a wonderful gift for a June birthday or as an anniversary present!
Available in a brushed/ oxidized (as pictured), brushed, or high polish finish. Please select at checkout.
