Interlocking Lego rings in Boing Boing Bazaar

201004161023

New in the Boing Boing Bazaar: Rubygirl makes these interlocking sterling silver rings by sandcasting Lego bricks.

One Lego brick set rightside-up and one Lego brick set upside-down are the basis for this awesome interlocking ring set. (Please note: These rings DO fit together. However, because metal is more rigid than the original plastic pieces, they do NOT click into place.)

The Lego bricks were hand cast using a process called sand casting. This casting technique is unique in that while the original form is left intact, the mold is destroyed and must be re-formed for each piece. This means that every piece cast will have subtle differences, making each piece one-of-a-kind.

The Lego bricks are soldered securly to band of sterling and measure approximately 5/8 X 5/8 inch. I gave both rings a black patina and then brushed it back to better highlight the detail.

These rings can be made in any size. Please note sizes required in the message to seller at checkout. Please allow up to one week for fabrication.

Interlocking Rings - Set of 2: $125
