Turtle ring

This rectangular ring is handmade in sterling silver using metal sheet creation and rolling, cutting, soldering and polishing techniques. Its base is inlaid with a micro mosaic swimming turtle image set in black jeweller’s grout. The turtle shape is created by shaping and hammering copper wire, then in-filling the shape with ostrich egg shell chips and amazonite gemstone chips. The main field of the shape is in-set with turquoise chips.
