{"product_id":"sapphire-bouquet-ring","title":"Buoyant ring in yellow sapphires","description":"\u003cp\u003eI love arranging gemstones as much as I love arranging flowers. It’s so much fun putting colours and shapes together. This buoyant ring is all natural sapphires with a hand engraved flower in the centre. I was going to add more gems in the centre, but this time, I think the silver flower in the centre is a great contrast and looks to be floating in a sea of sunshine sparkling gems. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ring is cast sterling silver from a mould of one of my hand carved masters. I then drill and burr out the holes for the gemstones which have to be exactly the same size and shape of each individual gem, this is the tricky bit because if I take away even a fraction too much metal, I can’t put it back and the gem won’t be set well. Once I have the gemstone seated perfectly, I burnish the metal down onto it, to lock it in (no glue is ever involved) For the finishing touch, I hand engrave the details to make the shapes, I do this with a hand held, hand push graver. This takes years of practice to master, it is very easy to slip out and cut unwanted marks into the design.\u003cbr\u003eThese rings are all slightly different, due to the hand crafted techniques used, and the nature of natural gemstones, so there is no factory made boringness.\u003cbr\u003eThe top of the sterling silver signet ring measures 13mm across.\u003cbr\u003eThis ring is a size P\u003cbr\u003eI make many of these rings but they are all different as I engrave each one by eye.\u003cbr\u003eI love engraving with a graver, the process, the simplicity, the skill and the result. You just can’t get that bright sparkle and hand crafted feel with laser cut or cast or roll printing techniques.\u003cbr\u003eEnjoy a rare piece of jewellery that is made with skill and passion.\u003cbr\u003ePlease feel free to contact me if you need a different size, or a quote for it made in gold.\u003cbr\u003eThank you for your interest in my work,\u003cbr\u003eAdele\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adele Stewart Maker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52286518886709,"sku":null,"price":1400.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/1772\/6261\/files\/8A5E00F2-D40C-40CB-918C-CEFBDED81FC2.jpg?v=1793059239","url":"https:\/\/adelestewartmaker.co.nz\/products\/sapphire-bouquet-ring","provider":"Adele Stewart Maker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
