This ring has been handcrafted using sterling silver and a method called reticulation, which heats and cools the metal several times, bringing the fine silver within sterling silver to the surface to allow it to become molten and flow into organic crater-like patterns. Reticulated jewellery is always completely unique because of the way the surface of the metal flows at will. This ring has been shaped into an oblong and fused to a sterling silver ring band. The metal has been oxidised and polished to really highlight the depth in the beautiful patterns created by this wonderful technique.

All of my jewellery pieces are handcrafted by me using traditional silversmith skills at my little home studio in East London, and are generally one of a kind in their design or what is set into them. I sometimes use findings which are not handmade, such as the chains I use for pendants but otherwise my jewellery is fashioned just from solid sheet metal and wire (silver, copper, brass, gold, bronze) and old fashioned basic techniques and tools. I use ethically sourced gemstones where possible and all of the beachcombed items I use such as sea glass, sea pottery and sea plastic are genuine, mostly found by me (unless kindly donated) and smoothed naturally by the sea, predominantly off the coast of England. My pieces are hallmarked when necessary as a precious metal by the London Assay Office with my maker’s mark – I use mostly sterling silver for my handmade jewellery and these are hallmarked when they are above the weight of 7.78g
