It is important to note that the wider the band, the greater the size of ring is needed. Most women's rings are thin bands, between 1.5-6mm. Most Men's rings are much wider, between 6mm-12mm. How much does it change? about 1/4-1/2 is a good rule of thumb.
If you need quarter sizes, please message me. It's all handmade, so I can tailor it to you!
Working with a spool of silver wire, I carefully weave and shape each intricate pattern by hand. The band features a braided design for hints of celtic or viking era workmanship. No casting or mass production here, just my hands crafting a unique piece of wearable art specifically for you.
My Artisanal Process
After completing the wirework, I can apply a patina using a liver of sulfur solution that transforms the bright silver into a dark gunmetal finish. I carefully dip it in a warmed sulphuric bath, then neutralize the chemical reaction with baking soda. Depending on the softness of gemstone, it’s either polished solely by hand and dremel, or tumbles with steel shot to polish the metal and remove excess tarnish, creating depth and highlights. I usually use a combination of both to get the best shine.
This darkened finish gives the pendant an antique, vintage look. My designs are ideal for someone who appreciates uniqueness and artisanal craftsmanship, rather than machine made, generic, or name brand jewelry. I specialize in statement pieces, less so the minimalistic style.
Caring for Your Ring
Without frequent wear, your ring will tarnish and darken. To preserve your ring's appearance:
-
Store in a jewelry box or tightly closed container when not wearing
-
Remove before doing manual or machine work like heavy lifting and mechanics
-
Handle with care to maintain the precise wirework and stone setting
