A few little rough and unpolished 14k gold balls from this morning in the studio. I make these by melting down gold scraps from previous pieces: recycled metal in its most direct form. This is the first step in how I make my Satellite Stacking Rings, Perfect Posts, North Star Rings, and all the other styles with little hammered gold dots. These will then be soldered on to their sterling silver bands, polished, hammered, and then polished again before being sent out to their new forever home. #handmade #ethicaljewelry #recycledgold #processoverproduct
