Seagrass Ring by Andrea Roberts
The texture for the new ‘Seagrass’ ring resembles the movement of the water tides through the grass on the ocean floor. It is really interesting how many species of seagrass there are (about 60) and their importance to the balance and overall health to our ecosystem. The closest that inspired me to this particular design was the ‘Posidonia oceanica’ that is endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. With the gold fused (KeumBoo) detail suggests the sun’s reflection over the water. – Andrea Roberts
Keum-Boo “attached gold” is an ancient jewelry technique originating in Korea, which is used to attach gold foil to sterling silver. The bonding of gold and silver are achieved through pressure and heat. During this fusion-bonding, atoms are exchanged leaving us with a collision of two metals as one, and one greater valued and aesthetically pleasing piece of adornment.
