Description
The ocean scene wedding ring has a burnished highlight for added sparkle. To smooth out protruding metal pieces, the agate burnishing tool is rubbed over the surface of the ring to achieve the desired effect. This process shines the highlights while leaving the recessed areas matte. This technique is perfect if you want a little extra bling, especially for textured surfaces.
In the Ocean scene, the wedding ring is hand-carved and reticulated. Reticulation is a process that achieves a texture on a metal surface through controlled heat and pressure. A skilled person must keep the item from melting; if distracted, the metal may melt and the piece may be destroyed. The process is time-consuming, but it yields excellent results. It is a very organic process; therefore, no two pieces are identical; each ring is unique.
Above all, the ring symbolises eternal love, the union of two people making a lifelong commitment to each other.
The principal aim of the Gold and Silversmiths Guild of Australia is to promote the Guild Mark as a symbol of excellence, honesty and integrity.
All the jewellery is designed and hand-made in Australia on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. They bear the Hallmark of the Gold and Silversmiths Guild of Australia and the Maker’s Mark of Monica Szwaja.
