Square Rose Gold

Square Rose Gold, originally uploaded by redcatrun.

I made this ring in a gorgeous 10kt rose gold which shimmers in the light.

It's burnished to a matte satin sheen and just wears with simple elegance on the ring or little finger.

It also looks pretty darned good paired with a sterling silver square to wear as twins!

My latest commission - a sinuous wave of silver standing tall on the finger. It's a little wider than the one in my shop, as the client requested, and it looks good for it, I think.

Raw Silver Rings

Raw Silver Rings, originally uploaded by redcatrun.

A common sight in the RedCatRun Studio - silver rings in their raw state just after casting and being cut from the tree.
Next comes some time sawing off the sprue stump and then various grades of file from Bastard down to fine files. The silver is then taken down through the grades of sandpaper and finally through the buffs and brushes on the flexshaft.
Its a process that I love. Revealing the beauty in the silver and then deciding on the finish - matte burnish, satin or bright brush shine - is highly satisfying.
Just one reason I love working the metal.

Water Wheel

This new design was inspired by a chinese bamboo water wheel in the movie "The Painted Veil"
The dynamic of the organic meeting the industrial function was a powerful one and my interpretation of this into my latest design has been pleasing.
Sometimes designs work - from concept to execution to finish and I have to say that I am thrilled with how this has turned out.

Available now in my etsy shop.

CURE - Rings for Cancer Reseach

Here at last is some of my recent work!

First and foremost, I am donating 25% of sale proceeds from each ring in my CURE range to cancer research.

This is just one of a range of sterling silver rings that have been hand stamped with the word CURE, hammered and then oxidised to a gorgeous dark patina, and finally filed back to reveal a leopard spotting finish. I have sealed them with beeswax to help preserve the patina.

Each ring is unique in finish, colour and width, so you will be assured that they are one of a kind. On top of that I had a heck of a good time making them!

I will be promoting these on Etsy, as well as locally, and I hope that you love them as much as I do.

Please visit my shop to view more of these wearable, stunning rings with a conscience.
