Landforms - No. 103

Organic Ring - Female version,but can be either.

#103 Organic Ring ...I have tried to incorporate Deco and Organic design elements in this ring which is about the ebb & flow of the tidal beach where I live. The surface has two surface finishes, I make a fine textured design around the shank, whilst the "Flow" forms are fluid, and polished. This is a strongly built ring, & will cope with being worn in Nature. * * * 11.5mm wide at the top This example image is made using hard-wearing 9 carat pink gold.

Landforms - No. 109

Big Slow River - Male version,but can be either.

#109 Big Slow River has a more organic design emphasis than #2 Big Fastwater and has a more rounded, flowing format.The inside of the shank is also convex,to be more comfortable to wear. I hope it gives a deep calm and relaxed vibe of these rivers, to the wearer. I tried to turn the dynamics of a south-island, stony river into an icon, but this design has no rapids, just the smooth fast flow. I have placed the more delicate design details in "safe from wear" positions to aid the intended long life of this ring. * * * 8mm wide at the top This example image is made using hard-wearing 9 carat pink gold.
