Blue And Green Sapphire Half Eternity Ring
A new take on the classic half eternity ring style, with a spectrum of 14 blue and green 2mm sapphires and a unique sandcast texture. Handmade from recycled 9ct yellow gold cast in Sennen beach sand, the yellow provides a warm backdrop to the seascape of gems channel set half way around the ring, giving the illusion of a full eternity bad.
Ring width 4mm, ring size N. Please get in touch regarding resizing.
Sapphire, the birthstone of September, is most desired in its pure, rich blue colour but is present in almost every colour including pink, yellow and green. In the Middle Ages the gem was believed to protect those close to you from harm and also represented loyalty and trust. It is also the gem that married couples traditionally gift on their 45th wedding anniversary.
The Designer
Justin Duance is based in Cornwall and gradually built up the workshop and business to where it is today. A keen surfer, Justin’s silver and gold contemporary jewellery is deeply influenced by the surrounding countryside and ocean. He is especially fascinated by the way they engage with each other – constantly conflicting, whilst paradoxically achieving a harmonic balance. Each piece of Justin’s jewellery shows the contrast between the textures of the land and sea. He does this by combining wood or sand with precious metals to give each design an elemental feel, or by texturing the metal in a way that creates a feeling of organic movement.
His sandcast collection has grown since Justin first developed the technique over six years ago; molten metal is poured directly into a mould filled with sand, giving the resulting piece an unusual and organic texture. He usually likes to use Cornish beach sand from Sennen or Carbis Bay in St Ives, creating a unique texture to the finished piece as well as a lovely individuality and personal touch.
