"Do you know me in the gloaming,
gaunt and dusty grey with roaming?"
- Robert Frost
A ring made of furtive late autumn magic. Dark and crackled, smokey and bright. A dichotomous gemstone that encompasses both the deep of twilight and the cotton candy sunsets of winter.
These rings are made from beautiful round cuts of purple labradorite, all varying in their hue, level of iridescence, surface smoothness.
Set in straight bezels with a small pebble border, like the rocks that line an old forest path. Made on simple half-round bands for comfort that have been lightly textured to make the rings look like relics.
It has been oxidized and hand polished for an organic look, and to bring out the lowlights of the texture on the band.

☀ Labradorite is an iridescent gemstone with a fascinating schiller or metallic luster when viewed from certain angles. The base color of labradorite is a smokey gray, but when light strikes the stone in a particular direction, it displays striking rainbow-colored reflections. Most typically, these metallic tints are violet, blue gold, and green.
Made in my smithing 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.
