Goodbye Desert Ring
size 8.25
Owyhee Jasper
Baltic Amber
Sterling silver - reclaimed
Because I live in a temperate rainforest, every time I visit the desert, it feels extra special. More so than the ocean or even the north woods. This stone reminds me of Canyon Lands - a place I have spent spells of my youth playing in. So, whenever I leave the desert it feels like a big ole long, drawn out goodbye. And with those goodbyes, I usually spot some sort of raptor overhead letting me know that I’ll be back.
Note to buyer: The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost more because of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
