Summer Sun Yellow Rosarita Collection in Sterling Silver
Bright, sunny, yellow Rosarita stones are the showcase of this collection. All stones were cut by Gary Wilson.
What is rosarita stone? Well, technically it's not a stone at all. Rosarita is a by-product of gold smelting. Smelting gold is the process of extracting gold from an ore it is combined with. Essentially, when an ore that is gold-bearing gets heated to high temperatures, gold sinks down to the bottom and the non-metals solidify into boulders of red, orange & yellows. There can be transparent sections, opaque, swirling, striping, etc. Essentially, this material is gold-infused glass slag.
The 2 stacking rings are murano glass, set in sterling silver and are both size 7.
All pieces are constructed by hand in sterling silver. All pieces are oxidized in liver of sulphur, and polished to bring out the highlights of the silver.
