Sea Urchin Gold Ring
Sea Urchin Gold Ring, 14K solid gold minimal ring Sea Urchin Collection
This collection is inspired by a special place, almost at the end of the world :) Some years ago i was in La Guajira, Colombia when I saw for the first time the shell of the sea urchin. I was immediately captivated by his unbelievable beauty and wanted to do something with it. Just some years later came the idea to transform this form into jewelry. To do that I had to search for the very little ones. Playfully nature builds with radiating dotted lines a masterful form. The sea urchin reminds us of the beauty of being.

585 Gold
A similar ring with a small diamond is also available.

Process
I've made this ring in my atelier in Berlin using the lost-wax casting process, that means anything of the original sea urchin remains, the ring is just made out of 14k Gold. The mould was made from a "baby sea urchin" found in Portugal.
All the jewelry is wrapped in a pretty black jewelry box.

Patience and care are worthwhile when determining ring sizes.
We have therefore put together some tips for you on how to measure your sizes as reliably as possible.
Measuring with metal trial rings
As fingers react to temperatures and other factors and can change their condition over the course of the day, in our experience the most reliable way to determine sizes is with a set of metal (not plastic) trial rings (e.g. this one).
It is advisable to wear the rings in the morning and evening (possibly also at night) for a longer period of time. In this way, you can develop a feeling for the right size.
We recommend separating the individual rings from the band. This requires some force, but it is worth it when determining the size.
Please keep in mind that the width of your final (wedding) ring also influences the size that you need. Generally we can say: the wider the ring rail, the bigger the ring size (as the ring covers more of your finger).
Each sample-ring from this set is about 2 mm wide, so if the ring width is e.g. 5 mm, we recommend to rather take half to one size bigger for your wedding ring than the determined size from the trial rings.
When determining the ring size, please always use a ring and NOT something flexible to measure, as this can lead to major inaccuracies!
Flexible measuring tools such as plastic measuring tapes for the fingers are unfortunately not very precise. The measuring tapes are usually much wider than the (wedding) rings and do not simulate a realistic wearing experience. In addition, a flexible measuring tape does not have a perfectly round diameter, so incorrect ring sizes can be determined.
Measuring with a well-fitting ring
Determining the ring size from the inside diameter of a ring can be somewhat inaccurate, as a difference of 1 mm can make a difference of approx. 3 ring sizes (see table below).
We therefore recommend that you either measure very precisely with a caliper gauge (including tenths of a millimetre) or send us a suitable ring.
In this case, please make sure that the ring has a similar width and fits the finger on which you would like to wear your Cirer ring.
Measurement in a goldsmith's shop or at a jeweller's
You can also have the sizes measured at a goldsmith's or jeweller's (preferably with rings of a similar widths).
However, please bear in mind that this is usually only a snapshot and that fingers can change.
