Rain Drop Pearl Statement Ring // One of a Kind

♢ Solid sterling silver

 

♢ White round cultured freshwater pearl (half drilled for an invisible mounting.)

 

♢ The cup shape is water cast, and the process creates a unique natural form, full of texture, this is created from 100% recycled sterling silver.

 

♢ To start, I gather all my sterling silver I plan on using and melt it down to over 1700 ℉. When the silver is nice and liquid I carefully pour it into water. As the molten metal hits the surface it sizzles and freezes in place, capturing the moment when the silver is transformed. I love this because each cup is totally unique, outside of my control and I don’t know what kind of shape will emerge!

 

♢The band was carved in wax and cast also into sterling silver (in the traditional way of casting) the ring is a size 5 1/4. Since this is a one of a kind piece this is the only size I have available! The great thing about this band (just like my best selling seed ring style as well) is that is has a square bottom - helping it stay nice and straight when worn, it is also rounded and smooth on the inside- the perfect combination for comfort.

 

♢ The water cast cup is soldered onto a band with a post for the pearl. I add a dark patina to the inside of the cup shape and polish the ring until the surface shines. This contrast between dark and light is what sterling silver is famous for! The half drilled pearl is attached to the post with jewellers epoxy.

♢ The process of water casting for my "rain drop" collection is a very meaningful experience for me. As I create these water cast pieces they speak to my soul and I see God showing me something new through the literal process of refining. As I melt down the old to create something new I am reminded of a refreshing spring rain, bringing with it growth and new life.

 

♢ The silver cup reminds me of a single water droplet as it falls onto the surface of a like. I like to think of these water cast cups like a single raindrop frozen in time.

♢ If your interested in learning more about my inspiration behind my entire water cast "rain drop" collection I have written a blog post about it.
