Description I got inspiration from a book my sweetheart bought for me recently. This ring I made by pressing a ring pattern into a sand cast mold, press a stone into it, seal up and pour in Silver in the mold.

The pattern on the ring itself is from where my rounded stick left imprints in the sand.

Very lovely, very random!
A lot of extra work when evening it and removing the cast channels, but absolutely worth it.

If you want to try this, make sure you use a stone that won't explode from the heat.

Oh this is beautiful! I wish I knew how to do this.. I just started making jewelry this year and I have much, much more to learn. Your jewelry is amazing.

Thank you so much!

To be honest, I only been into this full time for three years so you'll get there I'm quite certain!

If there's anything you'd like to know; just ask!
