Faux Bois

Finishing these pieces in 18k gold is so exciting for me -  this is how I envisioned them in concept and design.

I embrace wabi sabi in all things, also in my line of jewelry. Some pieces are designed with a smoother more perfect finish, others are intended to be a bit rougher around the edges. I love the delicate marks and shadows that make each piece unique.

This ring is called Round Angle and it is a wabi sabi-er one. As anyone who endeavors in anything creative knows, you see new things about your work through other peoples' eyes. Like when a friend was ordering this ring, she said - "But mine will look like wood too right? You'll keep that wood texture on mine?"

Of course! And so this one is nicknamed Faux Bois. Everything sounds better in French.

I am so grateful for these first orders, several of them placed from afar based only on a few photos and a promise. I appreciate the encouragement and excitement so much in all of the various forms it has taken. Thank you!
