Agatized Petrified Wood, Freeform Beveled Square Cabochon Ring in Sterling Silver, Cocktail Ring, Starry Night Band - One of a kind - Rud
$115.00
About this piece:
This lovely handcrafted, one of a kind solid sterling silver bezel set cocktail ring/statement ring showcases an exquisite, expertly cut smoky colored petrified wood beveled square cabochon. An incredibly rare piece!
The band of the ring is in itself a piece of art - it shows a starry night scene - also looks a bit like the moon to me, for some reason. The ring is approximately a size 8.
This ring will set you apart - this stone/material is very rare and only comes from a single source location in Indonesia. The stonecutter uses a bevel technique that is stunning. I've set it into a sterling silver bezel with simplicity to really showcase the stone.
Our logo and hallmark whimsically appear on the reverse of the ring. This is a breathtaking ring that will be treasured by its owner.
About the Stone:
This stone is from Java Island, Indonesia, and was expertly cut and polished by a stonecutter I've known for many years. His work is impeccable, and this stone is no exception. These stones are ethically sourced, hand chosen and crafted one by one by one of the foremost craftsmen in Indonesia. Regarding the stone - You can read more about the metaphysical properties of Petrified Wood and how it is formed here: https://www.crystaldigest.com/crystals/petrified-wood/. Petrified wood is wonderfully grounding, and helps at a cellular level with PTSD and other traumas. You can feel the cool forests of hundreds of thousands of years ago in the stone.
About the Artist:
I'm Bonnie Swensrud, and my family and I proudly design, forge, and finish every item you see in this shop. I've been a silversmith for 23 years, and this business is the heart of our family. Most of our work is in soft metals like fine and sterling silver, copper, brass, bronze, and gold. We love to include natural stones and minerals, adding to the meaning and energy of our pieces. Our small shop is in the Pacific Northwest, in the shadow of the beautiful Mt. Rainier. Our work is inspired by beautiful thick green forests, abundant marine life, teeming lakes and ponds, the smell of rain, ancient petrified wood and agates, the profound experiences of everyday life, and the bounding laughter of our five children.
Each of our collections has a special story. Every member of our family is involved in our process - from the choosing of the stones from all over the world, to the design ideas, to the strength and architecture of the pieces. Every single item in our collections is one-of-a-kind - from the hand-sawing of the silver, to the rare and beautiful stones, to the hand-pressed dies made from antique hubs, the soldering of the accents, and finally to our quality mark.
When you purchase our art, you are not just obtaining a beautiful, handcrafted item - you are also receiving a piece of our story. Our heart, our energy, our effort and our family all come bundled in every piece we make. We hope you love it.
