Hammer & Hand is a metal & jewellery collective based in Hobart, Tasmania and Bangalow, New South Wales.

I have figured out a way (not the only way, I know) to #sandcast a ring with posts in place for setting a stone !

The pictures here ,are of the rough castings for two more, that did not cast successfully … I had the metal too hot but you can see the method with the ‘master ring cut in half .

The Little Uncut Ruby was a gift from Timmo at ‘The Stonery’ in Banksia Drive in the Arts and Industry Estate near us at

Hammer and Hand….They had their Brilliant Launch on Friday … Lovely people involved and a fun evening was had !

The other ring (Both are Sterling silver) is set with a little pebble off Tallows Beach here at Byron Bay.
