Baby Rose ring
Handmade in the Otways
Description
The flower rings I'm re-releasing are a full circle moment for me. Many, many moons ago I started making jewellery with vintage jewellery components, buttons, game pieces and even fridge magnets. After making for a few years I took myself to a Melbourne rooftop market with some stud earrings I made from buttons and vintage acrylic flowers. These flowers are made from a mould of those exact acrylic flowers I used back in 2005-2006. I first cast them in sterling silver for a jewellery course project in 2014 and I'm so happy to have them back to share.
All flower pieces are cast in Melbourne in recycled precious metal. They're then returned to my Otway forest studio where I clean up the castings, solder a ring shank to the flower, polish and finish the piece.
Rose: approx 1.5cm in diameter
If you don't know your ring size, I can send you a complimentary ring sizer after you complete your purchase.
Materials: your choice of recycled sterling silver or 9ct yellow gold via the dropdown menu.
