Green Chrysoprase Ring
A shining, sterling silver ring set with a deep apple green chrysoprase that looks good enough to eat. Deep textures and crackles reflect the sound of a distorted electric guitar which is the inspiration behind this green chrysoprase ring. The green mirrors the hints of other colours that appear amongst the silver as I listen. A highly desirable ring, I have only made one. Is it time to treat yourself?
Inspired by Music and Synaesthesia
I am synaesthetic, which is a neurological trait where my senses cross. Therefore I have a strong visual impression of shape, colour, movement and sometimes texture when I hear music. This green chrysoprase ring is inspired by what I see when I listen to an electric guitar. Electric guitar is silver, greys and whites and is represented here by the sterling silver. The apple green chrysoprase is one of the colours that I see when I hear bass guitar playing. It’s smooth shape also reflects the more rounded shapes I see in the bass. A contrast to the lightning-like shapes I see in electric guitar.

Recycled Silver
Mining silver is an environmentally invasive process, so I use recycled silver in all my work. The sterling silver I used to make this green chrysoprase ring comes from old and broken silverware and cutlery. Consequently, I can eliminate the need for newly mined silver in my work. I melted a piece of old silverware down. Then I hand forged the resulting ingot of molten silver into this green chrysoprase ring. This ring has a full UK Hallmark which guarantees it is sterling silver. For more on hallmarking and to see an image of my hallmark see my FAQ
