Moonlighting with a purpose

The picture is of a ring made by Abby Bentinck. She was attending the class with a friend, Tamsin Silvey; both were studying for their BA History of Art at university, and temporarily working at Earls Court over the summer period. During this time they attended one of my evening jewellery classes, and Abby came up with what seemed to be a nice but fairly unremarkable carved wax. However on casting into silver and polishing, it really turned from duckling into swan.
