MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH ARTICHOKES

Inspiration can be a peculiar thing. At times unconsicous and deep, whispering in your ear like the winter wind, leaving no footprints in the snow for you to track. Then again, sometimes inspiration is very straight-forward and easy to trace. Such is the case with one of my recent rings, inspired by the artichoke.

Artichoke Ring is a one-of-a-kind, art jewelry ring that grew from my love affair with artichokes.

I hand formed the Artichoke Ring out of soft wax and then cast it in solid, sterling silver using the lost wax casting method.

The Artichoke Ring is hardy (just like the vegetable) with a healthy weight to it. The band measures approximately 5 mm in width.

One-of-a-kind, size 6.
