This ring has been handcrafted in sterling silver and fine silver using traditional silversmithing skills and tools. A simple bezel setting has been created using fine silver to set a beautiful teardrop shape piece of Californian surfite. The surfite has bands of colour running through it in shades of turquoise white, yellow, black and olive green.

The back of the bezel has been textured with a Fisherman’s rope design.

UK size Q 1/2. Polished finish. Size of surfite approximately 1.7m x 0.8cm.

All of my jewellery pieces are handcrafted by me using traditional silversmith skills at my little home studio, and are generally one of a kind in their design. I sometimes use findings which are not handmade, such as the chains I use for pendants but otherwise my jewellery is fashioned just from sheet silver and silver wire and old fashioned basic techniques and tools. I use ethically sourced gemstones where possible and all of the beachcombed items I use such as sea glass, sea pottery and sea plastic are genuine, mostly found by me (unless kindly donated) and smoothed naturally by the sea predominantly off the coast of England. My pieces are hallmarked when necessary as a precious metal by the London Assay Office with my maker’s mark – I use mostly sterling silver for my handmade jewellery and these are hallmarked when they are above the weight of 7.78g.
