At the studio: Vintage rings.

The vintage rings I sometimes sell on my shop or at craft fairs are always such a hit and people just adores them. I'm always receiving wonderful feedback from the people who buys them, telling me they feel like wearing something really unique, special and beautiful. Well, let me tell you, they are so unique and special and beautiful! That's why I want to show you today a bit about the process of selecting and preparing them to be worn, most of them, for the first time.

First of all, I hand pick each one of them and carefully select the ones that I absolutely love. This is an awesome job as I always feel the anticipation of seeing the treasures I'm about to uncover!

Finding the perfect ring is a dirty job: I use plastic gloves and they end up disgustingly dirty!

Here you can see some of the rings I choose, already on my bench. As you see, they have a little 'tail', this is called sprue and it is the way through which the liquid metal was introduced to a mold. This means ring is unfinished and not ready to be worn.

Some sprues are easy to remove with cutting pliers but others need a bit of hand sawing.

And then what is left of the metal sprue needs to be removed with a file and emery paper, to make it smooth and nice.

To finish, I put them in the tumbler to clean and uncover some of their original shine!

The finish product! Aren't they lovely? Believe me, it's always hard to let go of these beauties knowing is rare to come across the same one again. So, when you get your vintage ring, enjoy it to the max because it is such a special piece of history and art.

I'll have some of these beauties for sale at Puces POP this weekend and on my Etsy shop by the end of the month.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post!

See you soon :)

Oh my, my. It's been AGES! how are you?! I'm glad to be here and say hi to you :D

I missed my blog but I've been so crazy with work and stuff that I had to set it aside for calmer times.

I'm working very hard for Puces POP, which is a super cool craft fair (part of POP Montreal music festival), my favourite in Montreal because there are always so many awesome local designers selling their creations at puces. So proud to be part of it this time! That's the reason I've been like crazy :) I'm very excited!

I also wanted to tell you I have new vintage rings listed on my shop :) I hope you liked them! I even have a super cool set of four rings, if you like vintage rings, you don't want to miss it!

Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you have a great week!

Vintage treasures

Hello! How are you?! I hope you are doing great :)

Just wanted to stop by and let you know I have added a new section to my shop: vintage rings!

A little while ago (this day, precisely) I went to an antique market here in Montreal with two friends and we bought a bunch of awesome old rings of different shapes and textures. It was such a fun experience as we three (the friends I went to the market with) are jewellers and we were like children in a toy store picking up rings and finding treasures.

I found two rings that I particularly love: one is like a branch, with all this gorgeous wood grain details. And the other is a big, fat, funky bubble very reminiscent of the 60's I think. I took those two and have them cast in sterling silver so, in case I were to sell the original ones, I would keep one with me. I put those sterling silver ones in the shop, too :)

I love how this rings look when wearing them together: all the different lines and shapes all mixed up look fantastic, so cool.

I think this rings were created to make molds or just left overs from an old industry that make rings, I don't know, but they sure carry the marks of a long, hard working life. And that adds so much character to every piece.

Thanks a have a happy Thursday ;)
