Edinburgh Sea Glass and Garnet Sterling Silver Ring
Beach combed Edinburgh Sea Glass, which has been cut, faceted and polished into a sparkling sea gemstone, set in an elegant sterling silver wrap style ring. With a garnet set in the tail.
No one will be able to guess what it is - but it will definitely catch everyone's eye!
You will receive the beautiful ring in the photos. This stunning ring can cleverly span ring sizes M-P (UK) or 6¼-7¾ (US). Sea Glass measures approximately 8x7x3mm and garnet, 2.5mm diameter.
RESIZING ADJUSTABLE RINGS
It is quite easy to change the size of the ring yourself as long as you go slowly and are careful, manipulating the inner area of the band with warm fingers, rather than pulling at the end sections – this will help keep a round shape too. This ring will span quite a few sizes without compromising the original design concept. Once set, it is advisable not to resize again, as silver is quite soft and can become brittle and snap if bent too frequently.
Adam scoured the beaches at Granton, Edinburgh for these sea treasures. We usually see sea glass in a mattified state, due to the sands and seas buffing away at the once sharp pieces, making them smooth and of a frosted appearance. Adam, always liking to be a bit different, hit upon the idea to treat the sea glass as he would any other gemstone – by cutting, faceting and polishing, an expensive process usually reserved for semi precious gemstones. The result is wonderfully sparkling, beautiful sea-born jewels in many different colours! Once old wine bottles, beer bottles, medicine bottles, ornaments and other lost belongings, this Edinburgh Sea Glass has been reborn into a highly desirable little piece of Edinburgh's history!
