Gold cuttlefush cast ring with blue sapphire
Gold cuttlefush cast ring with blue sapphire
This uniquely beautiful one-of-a-kind gold ring features a responsibly sourced, blue Sri Lankan sapphire that has been cast directly into the gold using the ancient technique of cuttlefish casting. The textures of the cuttlefish bone are what give the ring its distinctive patterning, which are carefully selected through the carving process, and the casting method imparts a captivating luster to the gold that is exclusive to the process. Each side of the ring is uniquely patterned, which provides alternative wearing possibilities.

A customized version of this ring can be made. The price will vary according to the size/color of the sapphire and karat of gold chosen. Due to the uniqueness of the casting process, no two rings are the same. There is always a little movement of the stones when the molten gold hits them and the amount of gold that covers the stones can vary. This is what makes the process so exciting! I will work with the customer throughout the creative process to ensure that expectations are being met. Custom made work is non-returnable.
Please allow 2-4 weeks for production/delivery of a customized version of the ring, longer if a component has to be ordered.
