HéphaÏstos Stones...
To create this ring I used the lost wax casting technique.
The tray measures 2.5 x 2 cm set with a Turquoise Matrix.
It was a sacred stone for the Egyptians, Persians, Tibetans, Indians, Mayans, Aztecs and Incas of sky blue, blue green, apple green color when it is altered.
The "turquoise blue" shade is rare.
It is called Turquoise Matrix when the stone is furrowed with veins or brown, gray or black clouds.
Before becoming a jewel I sculpted it entirely in wax using a saw as the only tool, using a different cutting angle each time, I made different layers in order to melt it in silver.
I then applied the patina so that my work has even more relief.
