The first thing I ever cast was orange and grapefruit seeds for the floor of my installation in Milan, then I cast the apple seed ring, and I started thinking about rings as small pieces of wearable art. I wanted to make rings with content, pieces that would be intimate and symbolic to the wearer, which was something I didn't see in the world around me. I hope you enjoy them.
Prices: All rings are $80 each, buttons are $50 each, and all earrings, necklaces, and cufflinks are $100. All of the prices are for the pieces in silver, the price for gold plated would be more, and the price for solid gold would be related to the market price of the gold.
Also a disclaimer: All of the pieces have a handmade quality, and some of them are not completely round, so some of the sizes are an educated guess.
