Here’s a new twist on an old favorite. This ring was fabricated (as apposed to casting) using Sterling Silver sheet and wire, oxidized to enhance detail.
My prior Anemone designs (seen here) were all hand sculpted using Precious Metal Clay (PMC). The benefits of fabrication vs. casting / PMC are: 1.) Longer Wear due to greater density (often years longer on ring shanks and prongs); 2.) Crisper and Cleaner detail of a design; 3.) Greater resistance to scratching; 4.) More brilliant polish.

I love this ring, it gave me inspiration for a ring I made with the casting process.
Some very interesting and insightful thoughts. I like this.
Well, nice buddy… Someone will love this article if I tell her about this. She’s really interested in this topic. Thanks again…
