ThreeFooter Ring in Fairmined Sterling Silver

Description

This wrap ring is now made with Fairmined™ 930 Sterling Silver.*

Certaines personnes aiment porté de façon plus osée: la bague ThreeFooter débute avec trois pieds de fil d'or ou d'argent qui est en premier lieu forgé dans différentes directions et alors entouré répétitivement pour former un anneau. Le fil étant entouré de façon continue, il est impossible de voir le début ou la fin de celui-ci. Chacune des bagues est uniques et différentes.

This ring generally has 13-15 loops, but that can vary, depending on how much the metal was forged, and the size of the ring. Average width really varies on how the ring is wound, and can be anywhere between is 1.5 – 2.5 cm (ca. 3/8″ – 1″). For a more compact/masc/masculine style, I wind the length of precious metal more on the spot; for a more elongated/fem/feminine version, it is wound more along the finger.

*Fairmined™ is a standard for ethical and sustainable silver and gold that assures strict environmental and social standards. See Above and Beyond “Recycled” Silver and Gold. I had made these in recycled sterling silver, and while Umicore’s recycled silver standard is very high, it is not necessarily considered the most ethical anymore because conflict silver can make its way into the supply chain. As I learn more, I continue the journey to implement ethically-sourced metals.
