In the featured image you see a handmade silver ring. It is set with a beautiful large oval shaped, pale pink tourmaline. The tourmaline is 10mm x 12mm in size.
It was designed as a cocktail ring. Created for an elegant lady to wear during special events. The success of it’s design lead to a customer commission which was for a remodel of two gold rings. Re-setting the sapphire which came from one of the original gold rings. The gold and sapphire ring was made for a gentleman. Although this ring design was re-made. The stone was not a pink tourmaline, but a sapphire. The precious metal was not silver, but gold. The finish was not polished and hammered, but smooth and mat.
But today it is the Pink tourmaline set in the silver ring that is being put in the spotlight…
Today, I was pleasantly surprised by an email from the organisers of Meesterlijk. They emailed a few selected craftsmen, who will be exhibiting at Meesterlijk, stating that their work has been selected for the preview show in Den Haag. This exhibition will run from 1st October till the end of December 2015. Very exciting news indeed!
Herewith, I am pleased to announce that this ring has been selected for the Meesterlijk preview exhibition in Den Haag. Along with a new ring in the making, especially for this occasion, it will be on display at Karel Bodegom, interior architect.
Both rings along with other selected artisan’s work, they will represent the 3-day show, “Meesterlijk” which will be held in Amsterdam at the end of November.
The ring in the image set with a large oval pink tourmaline, is a handmade in the silver ring, currently on display in Saskia Shutt’s workshop in Brussels.
