Simon William's PaHoeHoe Slab 2 Lava Flow Ring is made from oxidised sterling silver that has been heavily textured with layers of vertical incisions. Contrasting the heavy texture is the high polished internal band that curves inwards, whilst the texture on the outside is concave. The result is a heavy and detailed ring that's smooth to pull on and off. There's the tiny bar of 9ct Rose gold solder where the band has been joined.
Materials: Oxidised sterling silver and 9ct rose gold.
Dimensions: 5mm x 2.8mm
Ring size: S1/2
