Broken Setting #1




Mix and Match series



Further inspired by the rings of older ladies, these rings are designed to be worn one, two or three at a time.
The oxidized 925 Silver contrast with the Cubic Zirconias represents the contrast between the traditional rings on my great grandmothers and the modern rings my sisters wear.




Ring #2 and Ring #3




Ring #1

Burnt 925 Silver. Purple Cubic Zirconia.

The Rings


My Grandmother has the most beautiful collection of wedding and engagement rings from my great grandparents. All the grand daughters recieved a ring each, except me. The stones are big and beautiful, and the metal has a beautiful worn/grey coat on them. I started to design rings based upon the style of my great grand mothers' and by looking at the imperfections present in the old rings.
