Vtg Beautiful Native American Sterling Silver Sand Cast Tribal Ring Sz 2

VTG 1950s BEAUTIFUL NATIVE AMERICAN STERLING SILVER SAND CAST TRIBAL RING Hand-Carved Uniqueness. Sandcasting is one of the most challenging techniques to master, but when done correctly, the pieces are as unique as the person who carved the design into a sand mold, which usually only lasts long enough to create one or two pieces.

Sandcasting is a generations-old method of jewelry used by Navajo and Native American silversmiths. In the casting process, a design is hand-carved into sandstone, creating a negative space where molten silver or gold can be poured. After casting, the piece is refined and decorated by hand. A single sand cast can take 3 or 4 days to carve and usually lasts for only a handful of castings, making this a fragile process that is practiced by only the most skilled artists. Jewelry created through sandcasting is often bold in design and substantial in silver weight and is favored by Navajo silversmiths to create both traditional and contemporary work.
