Sakura Ni

Description

Name : SAKURA NI

Type : Stacking Rings

Here is a new set of Trio rings. Please check out my other Trio ring sets. Each one is beautiful in its own way. In this listing the featured stones are rare and can only be found in Honshu, Japan. They are called the ‘Cherry Blossom stones’ or  ‘Sakura Ishi’ in Japanese.  I have named this set ‘Sakura NI’ because there are TWO Sakura stones for this set.

The cross-section of the Sakura Ishi resembles the Sakura flower, hence, its name as told. The stone is actually a Mica specimen but it did not form from Mica. It underwent a process called pseudomorphosis.

The original crystals of this stone were Cordierite and Indialite which inter-grew with one and other in a complex manner. Due to the environment they were in, they underwent pseudomorphism where they were completely replaced by Mica but their external crystalline structures were preserved.

The centre of the stone used to be Indialite and the ‘petals’ of the stone used to be Cordierite. Have a close look at the stones in this set. One of them has the formation of the centre and the petals.

If 2 stones are too much for your liking, check out Sakura Ichi, a set of trio rings with a single Sakura stone set in resin.

Since the stone is soft and crumbly, it cannot be used in jewelry in its original state. I have set the stone in epoxy resin mixed with a little sprinkle of gold dust and magic sparkles. It is now durable to be mounted onto a ring.

The rings are all made of sterling silver. The design is a minimalist design. The rings are filed at random angles to create an uneven geometric finish.
