Ruth Rhoten Orignal "Wave" Design in Hand-Wrought Sterling Silver

About the Item

Gallery 925 is proud to present renowned, award winning California silversmith Ruth Rhoten's original "wave" design in hand-wrought silver. Contemporary sterling silver design with 24-carat gold vermeil interior. Sculptural and stunning design. An established Bay Area artist and silversmith, Ruth Rhoten began her career by earning a BFA from the University of Kansas. She then continued her studies at both the Technological Institute of Denmark and the Soborg School in Copenhagen, followed by the completion of a sheet metal apprenticeship in Seattle, Washington during the 1970s. Ruth then traveled to Ireland to train in the art of silversmithing during the 1990s. Presently, Ruth manages her own successful smithy in the San Francisco Bay Area creating unique designs as well as commissioned pieces. Ruth’s hand-wrought sterling silver and gold creations in holloware and jewelry capture the natural movements of water and wind in modern, creating beautiful, functional works of art. Her designs often feature exquisite, high-quality precious stones and pearls. Many of her one-of-a-kind pieces have been collected and curated by individuals worldwide. Ruth lends her skills in metalworking to restoring beloved holloware of 17th and 18th century English, early American, and modern Scandinavian designs. She is also an avid painter, relying on similar themes from natural elements that she employs in her silver and gold creations. Many of Ruth’s designs have been prominently featured within California exhibitions as well as shows in New York and Seattle. Her work has been featured within Elle Decor as well as within a 2000 TV documentary. In addition, Ruth has also given many lectures on metalworking, the artistic process, and ‘art as healing.’
