Named for the appearance of the shore at Topsham as the tide goes out, these bands have laminated sterling echoing the wave of the mudflats and a very subtle dimple texture beaten int the inner band. The band with the gemstone on isn't soldered to the main band, so there may be a teeny bit of fidget possible
I've made a few of these; the sapphire and garnet haves sold, but the opal ( size V) is available for immediate delivery.
The band is 10mm in width, and you'll notice the the opal ring has a few extra waves filed into one edge, for suggestion of movement.
I like to shape these to very slightly off the round, so that they will sit comfortably on your finger, without the stone slipping round to your palm.
The green sapphire sold, but I have two others in the same style available for instant postage - or of course you can order one in your size, with a gemstone of your choice.
Choose the actual ring from the drop down, or contact me to place an order in a different size / gemstone.
All the silver I use is certified eco silver - recycled and reclaimed by my bullion dealer, or made using my own scrap
Because this is a little wider than usual, most people need to go up a half size or two when selecting one to wear, for ultimate comfort. If you would like a ring sizer, you can order one in my other listings, at cost and I'll refund you if you then place an order for a ring from me
Sterling Gemset Topsham mock spinner ring - made to order
Sterling Silver will eventually oxidise or tarnish. It's a natural process that can be slowed down by regular wear and by keeping unworn items away from the atmosphere. If you leave your jewellery out on display, this oxidisation will be faster. You can polish up your items, with a soft cloth, some silver polish, or a buffing cloth such as Town Talk, which is readily available from any high street jewellers in the UK
Fine silver is 99.9% silver, and because of this the tarnish rate is much, much slower. Again, a buff should do the job for polishing it back up. If I have patinated your silver already, be gentle when buffing!
Each piece should stand up to regular wear, but , as with all jewellery, please remove it before washing, using chemicals or applying perfume etc
Apply body lotion and perfume a few minutes before putting on your jewellery to help slow down tarnish
The sterling silver used in these items was sold to me by my bullion dealer ass certified recycled.
he gemstones I use have been sold to me by reputable dealers as untreated (unless stated specifically in the listing). They are a natural, organic creation from the earth and each one will be slightly different. You can see examples of this on my Facebook page.
I select the stones that I think go together best for each project, hence my comments that each item is individual.

Lovely ring, just the right weight….my old hands can’t do it justice so no photos. Dawn is a brilliant designer and I treasure this and the other pieces I own, one of them a beautiful necklace commissioned by my nieces.for a special birthday.
