This ring begins as a hand-carved wax model and is then sand cast in recycled silver, a process that preserves fine texture while keeping environmental impact low; the result is a warm, tactile band finished to highlight the metal’s natural luster.
Set at its center is a Mexican fire opal, prized for vivid orange to red-orange hues and a translucent clarity that glows from within—qualities associated with passion, creativity, and vitality. Mexican fire opals often display play-of-color or internal flashes when moved in light, and are traditionally believed to boost self-confidence and energize the wearer. The combination of time-honored sand casting and a vibrant fire opal yields a piece that feels both elemental and expressive, marrying sustainable metalwork with the stone’s luminous warmth.
