It rains a lot here in South West England recently, how about the weather in your area? Do you see lots of snow, rain or sun? :)

A half cut cocoon and a 6mm black pearl are mounted on top of this handmade sterling silver ring. The cocoon I used is the one that produces pure tussah silk (wild silk). It has been sanitized, and treated in a special way so it's hard, neat and clean enough for jewelry making. The treatment I used allows the cocoon to remain its natural attractive color, particularly the rich creamy sheen of the silk.
