During times of great change such as the one we are in now, it can be a great comfort to have a reminder of the natural world nearby. The gently grounding energy of this ring would certainly fit the bill. Made from Biggs Canyon Jasper from Oregon, this unique stone has a quietly understated, almost Zen-like quality that looks and feels very warm and peaceful. It was created by Gary B. Wilson of Tucson, Arizona.
My sterling silver setting is classic Desert Primitive, made to evoke the wild, raw edged and uncompromising qualities of the desert landscape. Visible seams, solder overruns and scratches are all intentional, suggesting the accidents and asymmetry of nature. Every step in the process from start to finish is done by hand without machines using the simplest possible tools. The bezel is accented with wire that was hammered on desert rock for texture, and the band beneath was heat-textured with a torch. It was deeply oxidized and brought up to a soft shine.
As I have aged, I’ve found that the only rings I can comfortably wear are adjustable, which allow me to accommodate changes in finger size according to heat, humidity and time of day. Perhaps you are in the same boat. If so, I encourage you to give this style a try. It is very comfortable to wear and I’ve never had the bands on my rings get caught on anything.
For desert spirits and fearless souls…
