Poppies ring - size 6 (L 1/2)
This ring features two delicate poppies. The poppies are not fixed in place on the ring and move freely around the band, making a lovely tinkling sound as they hit against each other - and giving you something to fiddle with!
To create the poppies I start with circles of sterling silver. The circles are then beaten with a variety of hammers to build up an organic texture on the metal and to make the edges uneven. The circles are finally domed and then placed on a handmade sterling silver headpin, which is looped around the band of the ring and then soldered closed.
The poppies have been blackened and then finished in way which leaves them with a shiny, dark grey metallic surface with silver showing through in places, particularly around the edges.
The ring band is made from sterling silver wire which has been beaten with a highly polished smithing hammer, creating a slightly facetted look and square-ish shape on the outside of the ring, but leaving a slightly curved interior.
The larger poppy is approximately 0.9cm (0.35") in diameter and the smaller one is 0.6cm (0.25").

I can generally make this ring in other sizes if they are not listed already, however, it may take up to a week for me to create items which are made to order. Please contact me to ask about this or indicate your preferred size when you checkout.
Please note that my jewellery is all individually handmade. The item you purchase may differ slightly from the one photographed. This is part of the beauty of handmade work - no two pieces are ever identical.
