Molding this Tree Ring might be a bit of a problem... Jewelry molds are 2 part molds. But. Will see. Thought I'd show off the poor baby as it heads into an uncertain future....
Ah, no. I should've explained. Its carved wax. I then cast into silver, for the model, then a mold is done for more castings. I don't think this is moldable.
I'd love to carve jade. What a beautiful material.
As a life long maker of things, I have explored many medium types before turning to jewelry. It has felt like coming home, in the immediacy and intimacy of the holding and creating of small objects. Jewelry allows one to hold and wear sculptural pieces. Success for me is when someone picks up a piece and says, "this feels good."

Well it looks great so far. Is that jade?

Oh, I hope it turns out, it's really pretty! Good luck!
