The Mandala Rings are our first product introduced on the web site. Nearly ten years ago, I made my first series of Mandala Rings and I have not stopped making big bold rings ever since. This new series is very special to me. I have developed six iconic patterns for these rings and they will be anchoring an exciting line using the artisan jewelry processes that anchor the workflow in my shop.
The shanks of the ring are made from seamless solid sterling tubing that is formed and not cast. I like heft and heavy sometimes. With the large bezels sitting on them, hefty ring shanks are a must for these particular rings.
Putting all the separate components together into a unique jewel is the last and most rewarding step of many that comprise the fabrication of each of these jewels. We present these to you with love and gratitude.
I am Celia Kudro, a designer/artisan/creator. My artistic pursuits started with lapidary gem stone cutting, followed by gold and silver work. After seeing an exhibition of Fabergé objects at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I became transfixed by the processes of Guilloché engraving on metals as well as the use of vitreous enamels, and the art of ornamental turning.
