OneFooter Ring in 18k White Palladium Gold

Description

I love 18k gold. A length of one foot of this lovely material is first forged, then wound to wrap around the finger many times without beginning or end. This refined spiral ring beautifully coils its loops of gold. The metal finds its way differently each time, and thus no two rings are the same.

The white gold I use is unusual. It is called ‘palladium white gold’. It is a much more superior alloy, as palladium is a highly pure metal; alloyed with pure gold, it creates a gorgeous dark precious metal, which looks a bit more like platinum than commercial white gold.  It is a highly valuable metal, which does not have to be rhodium plated again and again like commercial white gold. I only work in 18k.

Even though it is incredibly durable and strong, 18k Palladium white gold is very malleable – it loves being forged, and thus lends itself to the forging technique I use. I appreciate its density and colour very much – it is very contemporary. Best of all, it is hypo-alleregenic, as it does not contain nickel.
You can read more about the materials I use and their sources in the Materials section of my website.

This spiral ring generally has 5 loops. Average width is 10mm (ca. 3/8″)
For shorter fingers or a more delicate look I also make them in 4-Loop and 3-Loop versions.

Also available in 18K yellow gold.

Made from 100% SCS® recycled 18 karat gold sourced from Umicore and/or Stuller Inc., who apply an exclusively SCS-certified recycling process for their gold and silver. They are both members of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC).

Note my caveat about the general use of the word "recycled gold."
