Star of the Seas — A Fossilized Sea Biscuit Adjustable Ring in Oxidized Sterling Silver and 14kt Gold — Size 8 1/2 to 9/12

An Ancient Fossilized Sea Biscuit. Millenia have passed and remarkably this pattern not too different from the patterns we see in today’s ocean in sand dollars and sea biscuits.

I have taken this ancient reminder and set it in fine silver, backed on sterling, and have oxidized it using a non-jewelers chemical method. The colors, aged imperfectly as silver does naturally over time in our World.

A 14kt Gold accent flanks the side of the ring, while shiny Sterling accents dance on the edge of the Adjustable band opening.

As reminder, please no swimming, bathing or heavy exercise with this ring. Please no polishing or buffing as that will remove its lovely oxidation. — This is a Fossil; Mother Nature’s original Art. Please treat this piece as such. 

This ring was oxidized using a time consuming non-toxic method, one that offers not a uniform, but varying degrees of dark and smoky hues. I strive to create my oxidized pieces to come as close as possible to looking as if they were truly oxidized over a long period of time.

This is handmade and one of a kind. I have created this in an eco-friendly manner — from hand with no harsh jewelers chemicals and no power tools.
The old fashioned way, using recycled silver.

Thus, it has taken me a considerable amount of time compared to using other modern jewelry techniques. Therefore, file marks, as well as asymmetries are all part of the hand-fashioned process.

** PLEASE NOTE: I can not make changes to sizing or oxidation preferences once a piece is complete; I am not set up to do so. How my items show here is the final product. Because of my power tool-free ways, and lack of traditional jewelers chemicals in my process, this piece is sold as you see it here. **
