Black Porcelain Statement Ring with Molten Silver Accent
This contemporary ring draws inspiration from volcanic landscapes creating a bold exploration of texture and materiality.
The piece is hand-sculpted from black pigmented Limoges porcelain, featuring an expansive top plate finished with a special crater-effect glaze. A pure silver bead, melted into the surface, creates a striking focal point against the textured terrain. The black luster paint applied to the textured top surface adds a layer of complexity, creating subtle metallic reflections that shift with movement and light.
The creation process involves four firing cycles. After the initial bisque firing, the crater-effect glaze is applied and fired at cone 10 (2,350°F/1,288°C), transforming the porcelain into a durable, non-porous material. A pure silver bead is then added and melted during a second bisque firing. The final firing at cone 018 (1,517°F/825°C) sets the black luster, completing the ring's distinctive appearance.

Each ring is handcrafted and unique, making it essential to find your perfect fit. Use a ring you already wear comfortably or measure your finger with a strip of paper, marking where it overlaps. Measure this length in millimeters and compare it to this size chart:
Size 6 -51.9mm, Size 7 -54.4mm , Size 7.5 -55.7mm, Size 8 -57mm Size 8.5 -58.3mm, Size 9 -59.5mm, Size 9.5 -60.8mm
For the most accurate measurement, size your finger in the evening and avoid measuring when your hands are cold.

Your porcelain ring is crafted to be both beautiful and durable, but a few simple practices will help preserve its unique character:
Remove your ring before swimming or applying lotions. When needed, clean gently with mild soap and warm water, drying thoroughly with a soft cloth. Store separately from other jewelry to maintain its pristine condition. While porcelain is remarkably strong, avoid impact with hard surfaces.
For pieces featuring precious metal elements, such as gold luster or silver, take extra care to prevent scratching of these delicate surfaces.
