Melt 1 Ring | Royston and Montana Sapphire

This sand casted ring features Royston Turquoise and Montana sapphire. Highly textured silver and moulded band form together. A small hole in the backing allows light through the sapphire. 

Royston Turquoise comes from the Royston mining district located near Tonopah, Nevada and has been mined since the early 1900s. The Royston mine produces some beautiful turquoise ranging in colour from a deep sky blue to dark greens, often the colours run together in the same stone with the golden brown mottled or webbed matrix. The mine is still in use and although the quantities are small, the quality is very high. For three generations.

Montana sapphires, first discovered in the late 19th century, are known for their wide range of natural colors and notable clarity. Found in regions such as Yogo Gulch, Rock Creek, Dry Cottonwood Creek, and along the Missouri River, they occur in shades of blue, green, yellow, pink, purple, and orange.

Sand casting is a very old method of casting using special sand, and a shaped object to make jewelry. The artist creates a carved form to create an impression in the sand, the form is then removed to create a hollow and metal is then poured in, creating a one of a kind piece of jewelry with unique textures.
