Florida Stone Platinum Band

When a client asked for a platinum wedding band for her husband, she had one extraordinary condition: it had to incorporate a stone found in Florida. She sent me a raw chunk of this strange rock, with yellow-green pattern that she hoped would remain at the heart of the ring.
The stone, however, was deceptively fragile—brittle and razor-sharp when broken. Crafting a wearable piece of jewelry from it demanded not just skill, but also a lot of patience. Each cut was a negotiation with the stone itself, ensuring its natural beauty survived as well as my fingers.
The result is a wedding band that is as unique and enduring as their love, a subtle masterpiece of nature and craftsmanship. The couple was overjoyed, and the ring now carries both the story of its creation and the timeless bond it celebrates.
