I made this ring during a difficult time in my life when I wished I were stronger.
Whenever I feel lacking, I try to make something representative of my perceived inadequacy as a remedy. It usually works.
I’m always fascinated how ornamentation can reflect or alter the way you feel about yourself or how you’re perceived. A ring can be delicate, feminine maybe, to reflect openness and vulnerability. It can make your hand look inviting.
In this case, it can be just like armor. It can make you feel ready and protected for and from whatever comes next.
Cast from a hand carved arrowhead in recycled sterling silver, accented with fine silver mesh, and flush set with three light blue topaz this ring is a force to be reckoned with.
Split shank has been hand forged into gorgeous waves.
