Coral Ring
This ring is made from 9k recycled yellow gold and inspired by coral. Most reef-building corals contain photosynthetic algae, called zooxanthellae, that live in their tissues. The corals and algae have a mutualistic relationship.
The coral provides the algae with a protected environment and compounds the need for photosynthesis. They are called micro-algae (macro-algae is seaweed) and can double in mass in just 24 hours! They might save our future due to their stability in water sources of any size. They can soak up heavy metals, metabolising them into safer chemicals - something humans have had no way of disposing of until now. These undesirable heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, among others) are produced during the mining process of precious metals and gemstones, and can cause land slides, acid rain, and water pollution.
This item is made to order. Please allow 4-6 weeks for the processing, manufacture, packaging, and shipping of your jewellery.
You can request different sizes, metals and gemstones or even fully bespoke designs using the contact section of my website. If you do decide to change anything, the piece would become bespoke, extending the lead time to 8-10 weeks. Your piece may arrive with you much sooner than this, but we always allow a longer timeframe to account for any delays in the production process. These timeframes may vary slightly, but this is the nature of handmade work.
Your jewellery may vary ever so slightly from that in the photos. This is because it has been made by a real human, not in a factory. We believe this to be key to the experience of handmade jewellery, that each piece is genuinely unique.
