WOODEN STERLING ACCENT RING, CHOICE OF WORD
$75.00

What's In A Word?

Inspired by the Braille alphabet's graphical force and understated beauty, artist Allison Ford created these bold bands that turn your chosen word into a work of art. Each ring starts as a block of wood and spool of wire. Allison drills, cuts, and contours each ring to size and then sets your chosen message with a series of sterling inlay accents. Dates, names, hopes, and dreams (up to 8 characters) span each light, medium, or dark wood ring in an eye-catching arrangement, like an astrological constellation twinkling in the night sky. To give the wood a velvety touch, she sands each band meticulously with five different types of sandpaper, and to finish, she seals your message with natural beeswax. Handmade in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Braille letters are hammered flush with the surrounding wood and are decorative only.
