24k No Stone Gold Ring

Fine chunky gold ring set in 24k.

This is a ring with no stone, looking like it does.

The aura of virgin gold is tapped and turned into its ‘cabochon’.

The dome is finished with minimal burnish, while the cigar band is textured.

The crafting of this ring goes through a fascinating forging process: it is ugly until it is not.

When it is finished, it tells us and then we know it to be beautiful.

This ring is not cast, it is built from on traditional gold-forming techniques.

All in a burst – 24k gold cannot be over handled.

Sun or Moon or Asteroid, the gold ‘stone’ is lodged like a cosmic rock into its mount.

The ring is not dainty, yet it sits as flushed as possible in this wider style.

The gold dome is 15mm by 13mm, the ring is widest at the centre at 18mm.

The ring is a current US 6, weighing 25.2 grams.
