The poppies are just now blooming here in Portland where I live. They have always been one of my very favorite flowers; so huge and intense yet with a surprising frailty. I carved a spray of poppies arranged about the finger; some blooms are wide open, some are just budding. I wanted as much detail as possible on this ring and carved a lot of texture on the crinkly poppy petals. The ring is a lovely wide band but with the openwork, I think it has a nice lacy delicate feel.

* The Poppy Ring is part of a matching set; please refer to the other listing here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/48215925/poppy-ring-ii-14k-made-to-order

This ring is hand carved in wax using pointy tools and then cast using the lost-wax method. This ring is a highly detailed work of art with a design that flows all the way around the ring and has a delicious weighty feel.

This is a custom piece that I make specifically to your finger size and metal preference. I can make this ring in sizes 5-7 (please ask about other sizes) and in 14K or 18K yellow or white gold (platinum also available).

Please note that with white gold, particularly 18K white, I do not rhodium plate the finished piece; therefore, the white has a very slight ivory tinge. I personally find the effect to be beautiful, lending a special, almost antique quality to the piece. Please allow four weeks (at most; convo me for an updated timeline) from when you place the order to when I ship.
