DIAMOND & GEMSTONE CUP LICHEN RING

Inspired by the beautiful cup lichen that adorns the hawthorn shrubs and apple trees around my farm. Contrary to popular belief, lichen aren’t harmful at all but use the shrub, tree or brick for support, a place to reside. These habitats allow the formation of lichen colonies which are colourful mini ecosystems.

Away from the science, cup lichen feature in many storybooks as drinking cups for fairies following a night of mischief making!

Lichen are intricate, pretty and diverse in texture so have inspired me to create a small collection of jewellery pieces, including rings, earrings and pendants.

This ring was first sculpted in wax, drawing on the shapes of lichen, then cast in 100% recycled Sterling Silver.

Three small diamonds and an olive green Cubic Zirconia are set into four of the ‘cups’ providing sustanance for those mischievous fairies!

Entirely handmade, finished and polished.

Size M (average size for a womens ring) but can be custom ordered and made to a size of your choice.

Cup Lichen Stud earrings

Co-ordinating earrings (no gems) are available in a separate listing.

In gold

The ring can be cast in gold, to order, please ask for a quotation.

All pieces are handmade in my Devon workshop so no two pieces are ever the same, making each and every creation unique.

Delivered in a presentation box for gifting along with a cotton, drawstring travel pouch.

Cleaning cloth included to keep your silver sparkling!
