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 piece 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 14 karat goldfill heart. The ring is about 1/4 an inch in diameter. The back of the ring is open. You can't really bend or adjust this ring but I like the open back because it is extremely comfortable and you can bend your fingers easily.
Sizing: This ring is a size 6.75. 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!
