Materials: Sterling Silver, Ebony Wood, Boxelder Wood

One of a kind
Artist Statement: My ring is about overcoming the self- sabotaging, excuse making, and distractions I can indulge in. So, after chipping my original stone, changing my design 9 ½ times, and scrapping three inlay pieces, I completed this ring with a sense of personal victory. “There 'Inlays' the Rub” is about gettin' ‘er done, and how worthwhile the process is. This competition is an opportunity to challenge oneself amongst great makers, and I am thrilled to have an entry.
Technical Process Info: Fabrication; Wood Inlay
