Description
This handmade copper wire-wrapped ring is a bold, one-of-a-kind “statement” piece featuring a complex artisan design. It showcases an eclectic mix of natural stones secured by intricate, multi-layered metalwork.Â
Material & Gemstone Composition
The ring is constructed with several distinct natural elements, each providing unique color and texture:
- Central Focal Stone: A large, spherical dark purple amethyst gemstone. Amethyst is a variety of quartz valued for its deep violet to light lilac hues.
- Tumbled Crystal: Flanking the center is a raw, light blue stone that appears to be aquamarine or blue apatite. These stones are often used together in bohemian jewelry to evoke tranquility.
- Small Accent: smooth white moonstone is tucked into the side of the wirework.
- Structural Material: The entire piece is built from heavy-gauge pure copper wire. Copper is popular in artisan jewelry for its warm, earthy tones and the unique patina it develops over time.Â
Design & Artisan Style
- Wire-Wrapped Setting: The large central amethyst is held in a “caged” setting, where thick copper wires are hand-formed to secure gemstone without the use of glue.
- Woven Band:Â The shank consists of multiple parallel copper wires cinched together with fine-gauge wire-weaving, creating a wide, textured band known for its durability and “boho” charm.
- Artisan Heritage: This specific style of heavy, layered wire-weaving is a hallmark of artisan creators who focus on “sacred geometry” or healing crystal jewelry.
