Nestled Lapis Lazuli Ring...
A natural lapis lazuli 8mm bead wrapped in solid copper sticks.
I used solid copper wire to wrap and stitch this ring, using only cold connections. I hammered it to give it a nice texture, and burned it to a warm rosey patina using the ice and fire technique.
The beautiful patina was achieved through flame and fire, without any use of chemicals. The copper is left untreated, so the patina will continue to develop over time.
The size is US-7.5
