This medium round ring has been crafted using miniature ceramic tiles, glazed in a brilliant scarlet, then shaped and placed to form a delightful poppy with a bright yellow centre.

The mosaic of tiny tiles has been carefully fixed into place using a super-strength glue, holding the ceramics firmly in the ring mount. The mosaic has then been very carefully grouted, for strength and water-protection. Ceramics are porous, but the glaze on the surface, and the grout around the bare edges, ensures that no water will get into these tiles to undermine their integrity. That being said, it is recommended that you remove this ring before swimming or showering, and before undertaking any rough activity.

As with all Goosehouse Designs jewellery, this unique jewellery is individually handcrafted by me in my studio. Many of the tesserae are made from recycled glass or upcycled china or ceramic. It is the perfect romantic gift for wedding anniversaries, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and any time you want to show your love through a treasured piece of artisan jewellery.

Your Goosehouse Designs jewellery will be sent to you carefully wrapped and packaged using recycled and recyclable materials. I am committed, at all times, to operating my business in every way I can to be kinder and gentler to the planet.

The silver in this ring is sterling silver, and is stamped with the .925 stamp. This medium round ring measures 24mm across x 5mm deep. The ring is fully adjustable to fit all sizes.

The Goosehouse Designs mosaic jewellery collection has been carefully crafted using a variety of materials, such as miniature glass cubes, vintage china, glass rod, min ceramic tile, mirror, glass tiles, smalti, stained glass, and millefiori, the beautiful Italian 'glass of a million flowers', all bedded into .925 sterling silver.
I assemble the pieces, shape them if I need, and then glue and grout them firmly into place in the bezel.
The mosaic pieces, or tesserae, are all waterproof. The grout is similar to the grout used in wet spaces within your house. So the jewellery should be very hardy. That being said, it is still good practice to remove your jewellery before swimming or showering, or before any rough activity, just in case. If the mosaic gets dusty or dirty, a wash under a gentle tap, or even just a wipe with a damp cloth, should be sufficient to get it sparkling again.
The sterling silver ring and earring hooks are easily adjustable, but care must be taken not to bend them too quickly or too sharply. As with all metals, if they are worked roughly they may break. The sterling silver bezel will enjoy a regular simple polish with a quality silver cloth. If you do use silver polish, do not get it on the mosaic tesserae, nor on the grout. Do not use strong chemicals on your jewellery.
