A simple rustic 18k gold band.

Sweet little Bean. She is about 1.3 - 1.5mm wide and about 1.2 - 1.3mm thick. I made her out of a clay like wax to give her a rough porous earthy feel. Although she is quite simple, I chose to make her out of wax and cast her using the lost wax method. I love the subtle softness that the wax forms which is difficult for me to achieve using gold wire. Bean's texture makes the gold have a little shimmer in the sunlight. The last photo was taken outside.

△ This listing is only for the band named Bean. The photo with the two bands are Bean on top and Sophie on the bottom.

△ I will make Bean for you in your size, please message me with any questions. Keep in mind that she is handmade and will be similar, but not exactly as the one in the photo. Your Bean will be sent off in 3-5 weeks. If you need yours sooner I may have one as sometimes I cast a few extra, just message me.


A little about how your ring was made.

Lost wax casting. I begin by creating a wax model of your ring. I then make a mold of it with plaster. After it sets, I place your mold into my kiln for many hours during which the wax is melted out. Next I melt your gold and spin it into the mold using a centrifugal casting machine. It is then quenched in water, there is a mini explosion as the hot flask hits the water and your plaster mold is destroyed. Now for my favorite part, I dig to the bottom of the bucket to find your little gold sculpture. I'm so happy, your ring is ready to be cleaned, textured and finished. This may seem a bit extreme for a simple gold band, but I love the organic softness which is created by wax.
