Flow Ring No. 27
Size 7
Flow Ring no.27 in Fairmined ECO 18k yellow gold, size 7
With each ring being created uniquely, some of them turn out more whimsical than others.
This one definitely seems to be telling a story. What do you think?
The two strands of the richly textured band flow over each other as if in an embrace, leaving a little v-shaped gap that could well accommodate an engagement ring next to it … or not!
Is it overlapping waves? Is it a ribbon? Is it an embrace?
Or is this someone contentedly leaning back with a big sigh, arms crossed, after a big accomplishment? The story is yours!
The Process:
These rings are created in an ancient Japanese technique. I melt beeswax from my local beekeeper with Portuguese pine resin, then cool the wax enough to handle.
Through repeated folding and stretching, many layers are formed, like when making a croissant, or taffy! … except the process is a lot slower. I would say even meditative.
In this way, I create many many waxes, inspired by the movement of water, driftwood, and the texture of calligraphy brushes – and the flowing wax itself.
After a creation session, I pick the very best ones to cast in luscious and ethical 18k Fairmined ECO gold.
Because each one is cast in lost-wax method, each ring exists only once. A treasure!
The Material:
The FLOW Series is cast in certified ethically mined gold – there is only one mine in the world, the Oro Puno Mine in Peru, which meets the stringent environmental and social standards to carry the label “Fairmined Ecological Gold.”
