Tove Norlander designs have a simple, elegant, sculptural quality influenced by her Scandinavian background. Her jewelry is made using the "lost wax method." She first creates the jewelry in wax, then it's set in plaster and burned out in a kiln, eliminating the wax and leaving a cavity in the plaster in the shape of the finished product. Molten metal is then poured with centrifugal force into the cavity to form the jewelry. After the casting process comes the time consuming filing and the polishing. The sterling silver ring is a unique piece of wearable art. For more information, please visit www.tovejewelrydesign.com.
