Landforms - No. 109

Big Slow River - Male version,but can be either.

#109 Big Slow River has a more organic design emphasis than #2 Big Fastwater and has a more rounded, flowing format.The inside of the shank is also convex,to be more comfortable to wear. I hope it gives a deep calm and relaxed vibe of these rivers, to the wearer. I tried to turn the dynamics of a south-island, stony river into an icon, but this design has no rapids, just the smooth fast flow. I have placed the more delicate design details in "safe from wear" positions to aid the intended long life of this ring. * * * 8mm wide at the top This example image is made using hard-wearing 9 carat pink gold.

Each ring can fit either side of the other, in many combinations on the finger. * * * approx 12mm wide at the top (both rings) This design can also be made using hard-wearing 9 carat white or pink gold.

#149 Big Sandform

This is shown in my special, hard-wearing 9 ct White alloy,which has a "moonlight" tone.I have also hammered the surface for two reasons,it hardens the surface and it also emulates the surface of the sand-dunes and the roll of the sea.

The texture is to reflect glittering water, shifting beyond the breakers. It is also part of my "Boy-Proof" range. A Surfies ring, hence the hammered surface which hardens the ring and allows more fine dents from life, to add to the look and soul of the design. * * * 10.5mm wide at the top This ring can be made using hard-wearing 9 carat pink gold.

#26 Landforms Set

#26 Landforms Set ...with inserted shank

Shown here in 18 ct White & Yellow alloy. This is a new aspect of my double ring set designs. Normally,they are two entirely separate rings,that sit together, due to a comfortable, but exact fit on your finger. I can now link them together securely, using a silver inner shank. This enables this design to work, where you may have a larger knuckle.
