This ring is made through a special method of metalsmithing known as sand casting. A wax mold of the ring was hand carved by me, then placed in sand, removed, and the remaining form was filled with liquid hot sterling silver. The end result is a thick, chunky peice that has no solder joints, and is truly going to stand the test of time.
Sand casting creates an organic looking piece, with divots and small holes from where sand made it's mark. It's like a reminder that this piece is really from the earth.
This ring is hefty and weighty. It feels good on your hand. On the front of the ring band is a hand sawed sterling silver black bear. The ring is 1/4 an inch in diameter.
Sizing: This ring is between a 6.25 and 6.5. I would recommend sizing up around half a size for these pieces as they are chunky and thick, they fit more snug. If you have sizing questions please email me!
