Coral Ring - little

This ring is made from 9k recycled yellow gold and inspired by coral. Most reef-building corals contain photosynthetic algae, called zooxanthellae, that live in their tissues. The corals and algae have a mutualistic relationship.

The coral provides the algae with a protected environment and compounds they need for photosynthesis. They are called micro-algae (macro-algae is seaweed) and can double in mass in just 24 hours! They might save our future due to their stability in water sources of any size. They can soak up heavy metals, metabolising them into safer chemicals - something humans have had no way of disposing of until now. These undesirable heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, among others) are produced during the mining process of precious metals and gemstones, and can cause land slides, acid rain, and water pollution.

SIZE M

This is a made to order item, please allow 8-10 weeks for production. Your piece may arrive much sooner than this, but I always allow a longer timeframe to prepare for any delays in the production process. 

You can request different sizes, metals and gemstones or even fully bespoke designs using the contact section of my website. Due to the handmade nature of some pieces, they can vary slightly, but this is the nature of handmade work.
