Since as long as I can remember, I have always been completely intrigued by the ocean, all of the plants and animals within it, and how they all work together in incredible symbiotic relationships. The beautiful coast of California is filled with unique flora & fauna making this particular intertidal zone incredibly special and a vital part of the health of our overall environment.
I created this statement ring as a reminder of how special our coast is and the need to take care of it to keep it healthy and thriving.
I found this gorgeous small carnleian agate on the beach in Malibu, California. I cut it, hand polished it, and took inspiration from the beautiful California coast to hand silversmith it into this one-of-a-kind sterling silver statement ring. I handmade giant kelp (one of the most important parts of the California coast) for this super cool ring out of sterling silver to make this incredibly unique. No part of this piece is cast; it is completely handmade (by me) and 100% one-of-a-kind.
This sterling silver statement ring is a size 7.5 and measures 22mm high and comes out 6mm from your finger
Here's a short video I made of the creation of this ring - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IUJuRenrdVI

Sterling silver is fine to wear in water, HOWEVER, it will rapidly tarnish if worn in saltwater or a swimming pool
To regularly clean stone and silver, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, warm water, and dish soap
To remove natural tarnish, if you please, purchase a Sunshine Cloth or Propolish pads to gently rub away excess tarnish. These can be purchased from various online retailers such as Amazon or Rio Grande.
