Leaf Ring

Posted on the May 3rd, 2010 under Silversmyth by Julie Hiltbrunner

Much like Nambe’s award winning designs that are found in museum collections, my Sensual Minimalist designs are stripped down to the essential elements. I’m attracted to slow organic curves and lustrous shine. The silver of this ring looks almost molten.

Leaf Ring, originally uploaded by Silversmyth.

Sensual Minimalistic designs are described as abstract forms that are an experience, not just an object. This ring is not just a thing of beauty but a sensual form, exquisite and when worn is warm to the touch.

The smooth and solid feel of 11 grams of precious sterling silver add to the value of this beautifully carved ring. The interior of the leaf is only partially hollowed out and the widest portion of the ring shank is at the bottom for balance.

Did you ever wonder why jewelers hollow out the backside of rings? For one thing it makes them lighter weight and therefore far less expensive to produce. I love the feel of a solid ring and to run my fingers over it and trace the smooth curves.

This is ring is an Art form to behold and to be worn.

$98.

A new take on the old locket! This is a hand formed sterling silver frame made by me in my studio in Fort Worth, TX.

The photo or keepsake is sealed under a crystal clear dome.  To supply the photo for this item you can email me a high quality digital image after using the payment button.  

Old picture or not a picture at all?  You can mail me a paper picture or even a tiny piece of miniature art.  If it’s your only copy of the picture please make a copy (for me) and keep your original. Your keepsake needs to be just under 15mm and less than 2mm tall.  Unless you want a special custom frame made to your specifications.  I’m always willing to discuss custom silver designs. 

$70.  (Price will vary for different sizes, shapes or additional customizations.)
