Briarfast

This one grew out of the brambles. Not literally, of course, but there’s something in the shape and setting that feels rooted in thicket and thorn. Solid, textured silver cast in sand, refined by hand, and given a voice of its own. A kind of quiet wildness.

At its centre sits a raw green sapphire, held in a claw setting that doesn’t feel harsh - just certain. It’s the sort of setting that speaks of guardianship rather than glamour. As if the silver chose to protect this stone, not simply display it.

The name Briarfast came easily. It feels like a promise made in the undergrowth - something half-forgotten but still binding. The sort of vow made under moonlight, between earth and blood and leaf. Not soft, but true.

The stone itself is green like deep leaves after rain. It doesn’t sparkle so much as glow. Catches the light the way dew does - quietly, when no one’s looking. And the band, rough and uneven, holds the memory of root and soil. No polish, just presence.

This ring belongs to the Wildsilver collection, a series shaped by fire, sand, and untamed instinct. Each piece is one of a kind, forged in the meeting place between nature and craft.

A talisman, perhaps, for those who walk the wilder paths. Those who know that strength isn’t always loud, and that beauty sometimes bristles.

Cast in recycled sterling silver, claw-set by hand, and one of a kind.
