Size 10.25 | Apiary Ring | #29

A ring made for apiarists and honey collectors. Watching the endless rotation of honeybees depositing their pollen collections in their hives and then flying back off into the summer air. This ring design is my attempt to capture those moments of observation.    

Each ring features a golden citrine gemstone, like a cup full of gooey honey to sit upon the hand. And on either side of the stone built into the band are quick, shadowy bees heading towards or disappearing under the rim, like bees entering the slit to their hive.   

A summery ring to honor that good, steady work of bees.

☀ Ring size is as read on the mandrel. Since it is a wide band, it will fit snugly. Therefore it is recommended to purchase a ring that is listed as 1/2 - 1 full size larger than your regular size.

☀ This piece is part of the Honeybee Collection, which features rich, glowing honey-colored citrine gemstones, real leaf print, honeybee silhouettes, red brass pollen granules, and regal crown bezels. See the Honeybee Collection section for more one of a kind pieces! 
 
☀ Keep in mind that some of these citrines have some surface fissures, pits, and crackles where the inner textures touch the surface. These stones are very organic and natural. Which, I think adds to their charm! But be sure to look at all photos prior to purchase.

♥ Made in my work studio using time-consuming, age-old metalsmithing techniques. This piece is made with solid craftsmanship and all parts of this piece have been hand-fabricated.
______________________________________________

♥ All of the pieces in my collections are handmade and hand-finished, and make use of natural and recycled materials. All items will have slight, natural imperfections rendering each piece unique. It is these variations and imperfections which denote their handcrafted nature and individual character, specially made for every wearer.

♥ To create my antiqued pieces, the sterling silver is oxidize until dark gray. Oxidation is a process that happens over time naturally to sterling silver. Then the piece is brushed and polished until the highlights are lighter and the lowlights are darkened. But this oxidization is not permanent, and will fade in the areas that rub, and stay dark in the recesses. The patina will change over time, making your piece unique to you, and growing more beautiful with wear.
