Rash- 7 3/4
No light weight and with the looks of a piece created somewhere maybe in a spaceship, a mix of industrialized work and rustic, Rash was crated first in wax, carved from intuition and passion and then the molten sterling was poured into the mold that the wax model left ready to be filled and make my dream a tangible element on my hands, but that is not all the process. Sometimes I add the stones after the body of the ring is ready but other times... ohhhhhh... other times I make a nest in the mold where molten metal will pour embracing that stone. After lots of experiments in my metal clay times and sacrificing in the name of science and arts lots of stones -they had an honorable death...- I know which stones can stand extreme temperatures, this moss green kyanite is one. (Somehow in the video it seems greener but to the naked eye is darker, like dark ashy moss... mystery of light refraction I guess).
I carved a hollow area in the model to set the stone, and put the stone in the delft clay mold so, it was cast with the stone in it.
A 7 3/4 size, it is Bold you are going to fill the weight. Cast rings and pieces are SOLID, all the piece is a mass of solid metal (check the picture of my hand where I have the rings, my wedding ring is Big and Rash is a big @ss one All Around -at the end. After all the traveling my hands have water retention and I TRIED to get my own rings off to take pics but I was going to lose a finger trying so, took the pictures with the other rings on, ehem... cof coff...
