Ataca Ring, Size 7

Part of the Ocean collection, inspired by the salt the sand and earth. Each piece in this collection I wanted to capture a love of movement and the contrast of warm and cool colors like when the waves hit the shore.

This is one of a kind. Made with Sonoran Mountain turquoise set with a 14k gold fill bezel and a reticulated silver ring band. this is a thicker ring band and fits 1/2 size smaller

Reticulation is used exclusively by studio jewelers to produces a ridged textured surface through controlled heating. Reticulation involves heating a sheet of gold or silver alloy up to 10 times to oxidize the copper at the surface, then pickling to remove the oxide and leave a thin layer of pure metal. This process results in different melting temperatures between the surface and the interior of the sheet, in the interior flows before the surface metal does resulting in wrinkles that look like a mountain ridge or surface of the moon. Do to the nature of the technique each piece is unique in its pattern and can never be repeated exactly, making each piece special and one of a kind.
