This sterling silver ring is a very thin stacking ring made using the lost wax casting process. It can be worn on its own or stacked with other rings - it looks beautiful when paired with its twin in solid 14k gold: https://www.etsy.com/au/rebeccacordingley/listing/532595822/
This stacking ring is approximately 1.7mm thick and 21mm wide. The top section (from the top of the ring band) is 4mm high.
Please note: this ring is made to order. Please allow approximately 2-3 weeks for your ring to be made.
** This listing is for ONE sterling silver ring. The photos with a 14k gold ring are for demonstration purposes only.
A note on sizing:
If you are unsure of your ring size, a local jeweller should be able to measure your finger for you.
This ring is available in US sizes 5 - 10 and Aus/UK sizes J - T1/2. I have given US size options but I am very happy to make rings in UK/Australian sizes. Just scroll down to the bottom and select 'Other - will advise' and leave me a note during checkout with your UK/Aus size.
If you require a different size (larger or smaller), please contact me first for a custom order.

Lost Wax Casting:
Lost wax casting is an ancient metalsmithing technique. It is used to create duplicates of pieces, including shapes that cannot easily be made using traditional fabrication techniques.
The jeweller creates a wax model of the piece (in this case ring) and sends it off to the casting business. A plaster mould of the wax model is made and then filled with molten metal (sterling silver, gold, bronze etc) and allowed to cool. The jeweller then files down this outlet master and cleans it up before returning it to the casting business to have a permanent mould made. This mould can be used to have further wax model copies made and more metal pieces cast.
I carved this ring out of wax and have had a mould made. When I receive your sterling silver ring back from the casting business, I will file it down where necessary, clean it up and polish it.
