Bark Rings – Argentium Silver – Antique Finish – Variable Sizes
🌿 LIFE DESIGN
This ring forms from wire, heat, and pressure. I bend and hammer Argentium silver wire until it takes on an organic shape. Then I stack and fuse the wire into a solid strip that resembles silver bark. After shaping, I bend the bark into a band and fuse the ends together. The process stays direct and physical, guided by texture and structure.
Design & Feel
The horizontal bark texture gives the ring a grounded, natural presence. Each band feels solid and calm, with surface detail that comes from handwork rather than tools. Because I shape and fuse every ring individually, each one carries natural variation. The antique finish deepens the texture and highlights the layered form.
Argentium Heat & Finish
Because this ring is made with Argentium silver, I heat-treat the piece to activate the germanium oxide layer. This step increases hardness and slows tarnish. Afterward, I refine the form and apply the antique finish.
Antique Finish
Argentium 940 has a bright white tone, strong structure, and slower tarnish than traditional sterling. It is nickel-free and holds fine detail well. The antique finish is permanent and does not need polishing. A soft cloth is enough for care.
Fit & Sizing
The band feels balanced and comfortable for daily wear. Width and weight vary by size, but each ring maintains a smooth interior and solid feel.

I form and hammer wire to build the bark texture. Next, I fuse the strip and shape it into a band. Finally, I heat-treat and finish the ring to completion.
