TO HOLD YOURSELF GENTLY
RING
we are wandering this earth for a very brief moment. some would say we are the selected few, others say we are the random many. but in the end it does not make any difference, does it? let us believe in what suits us better, but let us be kind either way. we do not have a lot of time - or so it seems - and winter is harsh with noone to love. or close enough to touch. this fragile world asks nothing of us, but to surrender to its arbitrariness, to its random selection of people and events, and all the while to hold ourselves gently. gently but fiercely. and right here, is this not where life gets funny? you hold yourself not for yourself. you hold yourself to hold more space. for all things kind and loving. so they can come to you.
these are my thoughts, but with the purchase of this ring, i am handing the baton over to you to give theae words your very own meaning — to go places, to share thoughts.
PROCESS
all pieces of the KEYWORDS collection where made by a process called cire perdue or lost form. first, the shape (your ring) is made in wax. this wax model is then covered with clay or plaster to form a mould. when the mould is heated, the wax is burnt out, leaving an empty space inside. hot liquid silver is poured into this space. after the silver cools and hardens, the mould is broken away, and the final silver object is revealed.
PLEASE NOTE
– the different (ring) sizes are cast from individual wax models, which is why minor differences in handwriting might occur on the different sizes. the handwriting on the product picture may vary ever so slightly from the one on the size you are ordering.
– small irregularities that may occur during the casting process are unintentional, but not undesirable. they enhance the handcrafted nature that i, as the maker, wholeheartedly stand for. they do not constitute grounds for a complaint. the objects are polished with a light satin finish.
– if you are in need of a ring size that is not listed, please get in touch. production and delivery times may vary.
– all pieces are hallmarked with my maker's mark (little wave) and the fineness of the silver used (935).
