The roots of the Seed

As I promised yesterday, I want to show you what happens after the roots are soldered to the body of the ring.
The roots of  the Seed coil and turn...


... to form the bands of the ring. I like to see jewelry sprout.

A new Seed ring

What happens between this moment.....


... and this moment?


A lot, that's why tomorrow I will show you a sequence of photos. 
This ring is called Ruby Seed. It's a bean that has sprouted and its roots grow coiling around the finger.
Some years ago I made this same ring but the first version of Seed had two roots instead of three.

Unfortunately that first ring was stolen so my friends asked me to make a new one. This new version is made of 18k gold, the roots are made of sterling silver and a ruby with the most spectacular color.

It's this...

 

This fragile form was melting next to me on a park bench.

What's this?

It's been a long time... but it looks like the sun will shine again and I will have the chance to take new photos for this section.

What's this?

 

If you know the answer, please write it down in the comments. I will tell you what it is on Saturday.
