Bud Stacking Ring
A delicate handmade Argentium silver stacking ring, inspired by the simple beauty of buds clustered along a branch, just before they bloom.
The slender, softly rounded band is finished with a organic bud cluster formed from four polished silver granulations, creating a subtle sculptural detail. Each granulation is individually fused to create the sculptural cluster, giving the ring its distinctive handmade character and a beautifully organic feel.
Designed to be worn alone for a minimalist look or stacked with other rings to create your own combination. Its organic form and softly polished finish make it an effortlessly wearable piece for everyday jewellery.
Handcrafted by myself in my North East studio, each ring custom made to your required size.
Your finished Jewellery is lovingly wrapped in a signaturegift pouch, and then despatched by Royal Mail.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FINE SILVER, STERLING SILVER & ARGENTIUM SILVER?
Fine silver is made up of 99.9% pure silver. Due to its purity it is soft and prone to miss-shape and scratch.
Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of other metals, most commonly copper. These additional metals give it its strength and durability. However, it is these metals in the alloy, particularly copper, that can cause it to tarnish over time.
Argentium silver is a fairly new alloy, invented in the 1990's by a Silversmith. It replaces some of the copper in traditional sterling silver with the element germanium, and has a higher content of silver. It is typically available in three grades 93.5%, 94% and 96% pure silver. Argentium silver has a brighter, whiter appearance than sterling silver. The addition of germanium give it durability and most importantly tarnish resistance. The composition of this silver alloy also make it more suitable for people with allergies - hypoallergenic
