Chrysocolla Willow Ring

Chrysocolla Willow Ring

 This beautiful chrysocolla stone is a reminder of Spring and new growth so I paired it with a leafy image of willow leaves inspired by William Morris’s willow pattern wallpaper found in a Dover book of his art.

 The edited pattern was transferred to a sheet of sterling silver and electro-etched before being cut and formed into the band for this “Garden” series ring.  The high areas of the design were sanded and polished to a mirror bright surface while low areas were left with the frosty white fine silver created by the repeated heating and pickling of the ring fabrication process.

 Ring size is:  6  3/4 

The band is 12mm at top and tapers to 7mm at back for a comfortable fit.

Stone, including setting, is:   10mm x 22mm
