What is Argentium Silver
Argentium Silver is essentially a modern, upgraded version of sterling silver, which was “invented” in the 1300s by King Edward the first. Although the history behind this alloy is rich and fascinating, in my experience sterling silver leaves something to be desired in terms of appearance and durability. More info on the properties of Argentium Silver here.
Will your rings turn my finger green?
No they won’t. This occurs when rings are made of low quality materials and plated to look like silver. Copper, for example, will produce the green finger effect. Argentium silver is the highest quality silver alloy available, so it won’t have this effect.
Sustainable Metal Sourcing:
I use Argentium silver, a 100% sustainably sourced and recycled metal produced by the Argentium Company, ensuring ethical and environmentally friendly practices.
Certified Suppliers:
Palloys, the only Australian casting company certified by LBMA, OECD, and World Gold Council, supplies metals that comply with strict ethical standards, including the RJC certification for responsible jewelry practices.
Australian Labor and Manufacturing:
I use exclusively Australian labor and manufacturing for all aspects of production, maintaining slavery-free supply chains and supporting the local economy, with the exception of FSC-certified packaging from Denmark.

I offer change of mind returns for store credit. If your piece has any quirks you think shouldn’t be there, let me know and send me a some photos. If it looks like a workmanship problem I’ll issue an immediate full refund or replacement upon return postage.
Bought the wrong size? The course of action depends on whether the ring is too small or too large. If it’s too small, just send it back and I’ll size it up for free. If it’s too large, I’ll have to charge you a $70 resizing fee, since I’ll need to cut the ring open, remove metal, and solder it back together. This is fairly time consuming, hence the fee.

Every goodbye carries the weight of all the words we never got to say.
I created this ring to explore the universal experience of profound separation; the moment when connection transforms into memory, and presence becomes absence. Whether through death, the end of relationships, or life’s inevitable partings, I wanted “Goodbye, Friend.” to honour the bittersweet reality that some farewells are final.
The centrepiece captures the precise moment after contact breaks, two hands suspended in the aftermath of separation, having just slipped away from each other’s grasp. I sculpted intricate ceramic-like cracks into both hands that grow more pronounced towards the fingertips, symbolising how connection fragments under the weight of parting. This is the moment of falling, when what was held can no longer be kept.
I carefully crafted each crack to suggest vulnerability and impermanence, with varying depths that catch light differently as the ring moves. The oxidised recessed background creates dramatic contrast, emphasising the isolation of the falling gesture against the void.
Inside the band, I’ve engraved a bird dissolving into particles and feathers as it flies, its head remains intact whilst its body scatters into the wind. The feathered texture behind the hands on the front of the piece is a subtle nod to this interior detail. The engraving “Remember me, but don’t look back” curves along the inner band, visible only to the wearer as a private message of release and forward movement.
The outer band bears “Find meaning in what remains,” acknowledging that after loss comes the quiet work of carrying forward what was given, what was shared, what endures beyond physical presence.
I deliberately chose not to specify the nature of the relationship or the reason for parting. Instead I wanted to capture the specific architecture of loss itself. The piece serves as both memorial and compass, honouring what was whilst pointing towards what continues.
“This ring invites reflection on how we process loss, carry memory, and find meaning in the spaces between connection and solitude.
