Sea pottery is the ceramic equivalent of sea glass, and it's an even rarer material. Sea pottery forms from fragments of bowls, teacups, or other ceramic objects that end up in the ocean and are gradually abraded by sand, salt, and water. This piece of sea pottery looks like it might have been Asian in origin, which would make sense given that it was found on the West Coast of the United States.
All of my sea pottery comes from my mom's curated lifetime collection of sea glass and sea pottery. All are genuine beach finds. I set these pieces as she found them, and I don't alter their shape at all other than flattening the backs slightly.
The setting and band of this ring are made from argentium sterling silver and fine silver. Argentium sterling silver is a patented type of sterling with more pure silver than regular sterling silver (94% vs. 92.5%). It resists tarnish, finishes hard, and exhibits a bright silver color. It is hypoallergenic and contains no nickel.
