Handcrafted Sterling Silver Spiral Knot Vine Ring.
A one-of-a-kind sterling silver ring, inspired by nature and formed using Mitsuro Hikime, an ancient Japanese wax-shaping technique. A fine spiral climbs and coils before a single tendril breaks loose.
Every piece that comes through Mitsuro Hikime starts the same way and ends up completely different. The wax is warmed by hand and stretched, slowly, until it settles into a pattern of its own, something closer to how wood grain forms or stone wears down over time than anything that could be carved or moulded. It's an ancient Japanese technique, and the unpredictability is the whole point. No two pieces have ever come out alike, and this one won't be repeated either.
For the Spiral Knot, that same hand-stretched wax was coiled tightly around itself, climbing up from a slim band before one fine strand breaks away and curls off on its own. It's inspired by the way a tendril searches outward once it's finished winding round its support, reaching for the next thing to hold onto. Once the shape was right in wax, it was cast in sterling silver and finished by hand, so every line and ridge from the original wax stays visible.
It's a delicate ring, but full of movement, the kind of piece that catches the light differently depending on which way the spiral turns. A lovely choice for anyone who loves nature and wants something with real craft and detail close up.
Details:
Style: Tight climbing spiral with a single curling tendril breaking free
Inspiration: Climbing tendrils and the way vines spiral round a support
Technique: Mitsuro Hikime, hand-formed in wax, then cast
Materials: Solid sterling silver
Band width: 4mm
Ring height: 7mm
Size: N½ to O
Hallmarked: Yes
Handmade: In the UK studio, one off piece, never repeated
As this is a one-of-a-kind piece, once it's gone, it's gone. If you'd like a similar spiral design made in a different size, get in touch to discuss a bespoke commission.
A lovely gift for someone who loves nature, individuality, and jewellery with real story behind it.
