Silver Hydrangea Bloom Ring
Silver Hydrangea Bloom Ring
This ring features a single hydrangea flower. Each flower is hand fabricated using silver imprinted with dried hydrangea petals to create a unique tiny arrangement. This process means that no two hydrangea bloom rings will be the same.
This piece explores the theme of transforming fragility into strength.
Hydrangea petals look fragile but are amazingly strong. The petals are selected after the flowers have dried out and survived all the weather that autumn and winter can throw at them. These petals imprint into annealed silver in an incredibly detailed way. Each flower is ‘planted’ into a silver cup which stops the petals from getting caught on clothing.
The back surface of the ring is imprinted with an additional leaf skeleton; a secret texture that is only seen by the owner when they take the ring off.
