Moonstone, Tourmaline and Gold Ring
Gorgeous coloured stones, swirling patterns, bright, straight cuts and stippling textures all add to the mystery and uniqueness of this ring. Made from warm yellow 9ct gold and shining sterling silver, set with a dreamy moonstone and pink, blue and green tourmalines. This ring was made by me and is hand engraved with close attention to detail using long practised and carefully honed skills.
The edge of the ring shank is burnished to a perfect shine to contrast with the hand engraving. This is a ring like no other It is destined to capture your heart and become a jewel box favourite.
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. The Moonstone Tourmaline and Gold Ring is inspired by what I see when I listen to “Wild Is The Wind” by David Bowie. The sinuous lines of Bowie’s voice in greens and blues, flame-like electric guitar, fluid shapes of purple and pink bass. The wildness and romance of the song reflected in the design of the ring.
Recycled Gold
Mining gold is an environmentally invasive process, so I use recycled precious metals in all my work as far as I can. The gold I used to make this Moonstone Tourmaline and Gold Ring comes from old and broken jewellery. Consequently, I am eliminating the need for newly mined gold in my work. If I need to use new gold, I buy fair mined gold. This supports miners who do a dangerous and challenging job, ensuring my jewellery is helping them to a proper wage. I melted a piece of old gold jewellery down. Then I hand forged the resulting ingot of into this Moonstone Tourmaline and Gold Ring. This ring has a full UK Hallmark for 9ct gold and sterling silver.
