Sea pottery shard ring size O 1/2
Sea pottery shard ring size O 1/2
This ring has been handcrafted using traditional silversmithing skills and tools to set a unique triangular shard of blue and white sea pottery in silver. A fine silver bezel (frame) holds the sea pottery in place on a sterling silver back and the ring band has been staggered so that it is fused to the top and bottom. The sea pottery was found by me off the Kent coast and has been beautifully tumbled by the ocean.
Materials: Sterling silver, fine silver, sea pottery
Ring size: UK O 1/2
Finish: Shiny/polished
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.
