This piece was inspired by gothic architecture. We decided to work with deep textures and very geometric forms to create pieces that would feel bold, unique and would absolutely be a point of focus when worn.
This piece has been cast in solid sterling silver. Each piece is hand finished with a blackened oxidation that is coated in a clear lacquer to preserve it for longer. Over time the oxidation will wear away in the highest points and stay darkest in the deeper recesses. This will make for a piece that evolves with its wearer over time.
Set with a specially cut bridewell stone cabochon, this piece has vivid color to contrast the oxidized metal. I wanted this piece to feel like something found in an ancient tomb. Perhaps from a futuristic civilization.
The band is sanded smooth to a polished finish, oxidized and then some surface is removed for an antique look.
