I spent the last decade working with textiles. Weaving, stitch art, clothing…I LOVE fiber. When metalsmithing came into my life, I had no idea that I would fall in love. Like, head over heels. I am one of those Jill of all trades (mistress of none, lol), and I couldn’t fathom how I was going to fit all of my interests into my life. One by one they each started to fall away, and now everything but metalsmithing is just, well, white noise. Not unpleasant, but in the background.

This rings is part of the little collection within this my larger collection. A cube, more or less-I don’t know why, but I am so drawn to cubes, boxes, squares, and most of all hollow forms. I ADORE hollow forms. A duo of ‘crazy wires’ holds back a tuft of creamy American born Merino wool. The perfect little box sits atop a satisfying band. Wide. Like a hug for the finger. 7/8” wide x 1” long and a hair over 3/4” thick.

Sterling silver. Hallmarked. So, so fabulous.

I currently have one of these rings in a size 8.

Be in the know!

• This piece has been patinated and given a final seal with wax. To maintain the integrity of your new friend, please refrain from washing your hands while wearing, and avoid any situations where vigorous scrubbing or rubbing is involved. While it’s not exactly delicate, all patinated jewelry is vulnerable to abrasion and must be treated with care (this goes for all of the jewelry you buy in general).

• As we all know, sterling silver jewelry tarnishes. The best way to combat tarnish aside from wearing it—YES, actually wearing your silver prevents it from oxidizing— is to store your jewels in a zip-lock bag with the air squeezed out, and if you can add a little anti-tarnish slip with it, all the better. Incidentally, your lovely has been shipped in a zip-lock along with a little anti-tarnish snip.

• Store your new lovely in the zip-lock bag along with the anti-tarnish snip, inside of the muslin provided with your order and she should remain pristine. Also, please store all of your jewelry alone to avoid your pieces rubbing against and scratching each other.

THANK YOU for buying handmade. May you always stand out in a crowd like the amazing being that you are! xo
