The fact that this ring looks like an artifact you might find on an archeological dig intrigues me.  The stones look like they are rising from a geology of 18k white gold. And that’s no accident. Made by British jeweller Polly Wales using lost wax casting, she offers similar rings in white sapphire as well as ruby.

She describes her technique this way: Her current collections use a serendipitous approach to lost wax casting techniques married with the rich colours and beautiful cuts of fine gem stones.  Polly uses sapphires and rubies directly cast into gold, creating pieces that resemble natural gem encrusted forms, like sparkling geodes split open, or discoveries from the deep. This unorthodox process is unique to Polly and has become her signature style, gaining her international recognition at major exhibitions and in craft and jewellery galleries. She is also selling in numerous stores in the UK and USA.
