Size 8 1/2 Orange Rosarita Statement Ring

Size 8 1/2 orange rosarita ring. The rosarita is accented with rope trim, and oxidized to bring out the details.

Rosarita is upcycled from glass slag that is a by-product of the gold refining process from the 1960s-1970s. Refiners would take the sand from Alaskan beaches, and fire it in a crucible. Gold infused glass slag was left - producing mainly red, but in some cases, oranges, yellows, blues, and greens (colors other than red are more rare). This process is no longer used in the gold refining, so Rosarita is a material that will be harder to find going forward.
