Coco Opal Ring
The Coco Ring is created by embedding gemstones into a wax mould, when the mould is cast the gemstones are held in place and the molten metal is poured around them trapping them as it cools. It creates an organic, textured style where the gems look like they were found in the metal and makes every piece subtly unique.
As this technique requires the gemstones to withstand high temperatures only certain types of gemstones can be used. This style uses high quality Cubic Zirconia produced in Czechia & Lab-grown Silica Opals cast in recycled solid Silver with the option of adding a thick 22ct. Gold Vermeil.
'Coco' - Not at all a reference to coconuts or chocolate... instead the Latin word "coco" is a verb that means "to cook" or "to bake". To create our Coco Ring the gemstones have been 'baked' into the metal as part of the casting process.
*Diamonds, Sapphires & Rubies are the most precious gemstones that can withstand the heat of molten Silver & Gold and whilst in this piece we use Lab-grown Silica Opals, as more affordable and sustainably equivalents to their atomically identical counterparts, the option to include natural gemstones is available upon request.
