Ring No.49 has a classic half round profile which has been modernised with a slightly irregular surface treatment.
Each ring is initially formed in wax and the handle of Rhiannon's jewellers tool is pressed gently into the curved surface to create a recess.
When repeated this pattern mimics that of a cast concrete fence or a corrugated iron rooftop.
Each ring is made by hand and so no two are alike.
Available in sterling silver or solid gold.
All Rhiannon Smith jewellery pieces are crafted by hand in their Melbourne studio.
CARE
Significant care is taken to ensure every Rhiannon Smith piece is of the highest quality. As such it should be worn and treated with care to keep it looking its best. Rhiannon strongly recommends removing your jewellery when sleeping, swimming, exercising, gardening and doing household chores. Refrain from knocking or scraping jewellery against hard surfaces as this can scratch and chip metal and gemstones.
STORAGE
When not being worn, store your jewellery in an airtight bag (with the exception of pearls) or the jewellery packaging provided.
CLEANING
SILVER
Silver jewellery is best when worn regularly and can begin to tarnish if left exposed to open air for longer periods. It can also tarnish when exposed to certain liquids and fumes including chlorine, sulphur, salt water, perfumes, body lotions and even the natural PH of someone’s skin. There are many high quality silver jewellery cleaners available on the market, however you can also clean your silver using natural products found at home. Rhiannon suggests using a mixture of warm soapy water and a soft bristled brush. A gentle rub with a jewellery polishing cloth will also clean your piece easily.
PLATED METAL
Plated pieces require extra care when worn and being cleaned. Plating is a process where a very thin layer of metal (such as gold) is applied to another metal (such as silver). This thin layer is susceptible to chipping and wear over time so we recommend getting your piece re-plated every so often to keep it looking its best. Rhiannon offers a re-plating service for your piece for a small fee, please email hello@rhiannonsmith.com.au for further information regarding thier re-plating service. Rhiannon recommends your plated piece be gently cleaned with a soft cotton cloth or plain warm water and dried immediately with a soft cotton cloth before storing or wearing.
