Etruscan hoops in 14k Gold - Large
$880.00
These 14k yellow gold hoops are cast in my studio (actually on the deck as casting needs good ventilation) from a granulated master for a limited edition series of hoops. I use fine silver for the original granulation, then make a mold, pull a wax copy from the mold, then cast using the lost wax process with a vacuum. Granulation is a fascinating and labor-intensive ancient fusing process that can only be done with certain alloys which are prone to fusing. 14k is not one of those metals. Casting allows me to make this design in hard to fuse metals.
These are the largest in my series of four Etruscan Hoop sizes - 30mm.
These hoops have a riveted hoop wire and catch with a satisfying snap.
