Graveyard Ring

Ring Size: K1/2
Stone Measures Approximately: 12 x 18mm
 
This ring was inspired by my visits to graveyards across the world. It always amazes me how people leave synthetic flowers on graves- to me there arises a conflict whereby what makes flowers so beautiful is that they, like humans, are ephemeral. I love the balance of these ideas; leaving flowers made of synthetic materials at a site where the fleeting nature of life is so prominent is contradictory, yet also heeding to the fact that this flower, much like the person buried, will be in a state of permanence. Hand crafted in wax before being cast in sterling silver, these flowers encase a synthetic stone; a pink cubic zirconia.
