Héphaïstos Stones...
This ring in solid silver 925/1000 (7.8 grams)
Before becoming a jewel I sculpted it entirely in wax.
Set with an emerald with a deep green of a beautiful shine (0.08 carat).
I make a lot of rings as they come out of the forge, the metal is patinated, aged giving a raw effect.
A rough work of silver.
But here this piece where the silver is rarely shiny very little patinated highlights the emerald very well
