Wax Cast Oxidized Silver Accordion Ring

This ring features five flat openings that resemble an open accordion. The five sterling silver lines have a polished finish on the surface, while the interiors are oxidized, creating a striking contrast. The central line is raised higher than the other four, giving the ring a sophisticated graduated structure. Measuring 20mm wide and 8.75mm tall, this piece combines elegance with a bold design.

Created using the lost wax process, or cire-perdue in French, this ring is more than just a piece of jewelry; it's a sculptural work of art. The wax casting technique involves hand-making a mold, pouring hot, liquid sterling silver into it, and then melting away the mold, resulting in a unique sterling silver sculpture. This process requires exceptional skill and patience to achieve each individual ring's distinct features.

The lost-wax method, a traditional technique dating back to the 3rd millennium BC, continues to be used globally for creating exquisite and timeless pieces.
