Blue & Blue
Hollow Moon Ring
This minimalist ring looks gorgeous by itself, or with a handful of other rings.
This design features a crescent moon within an open circle on a simple band with sterling silver. The subtle hammered finish on this ring catches and reflects light, making it shine. A thin hammered band completes the ring, and the piece is polished to a shine.
Handmade in Portland, OR by Blue and Blue.
CARE + SIZE CHART
- Plant-based fibers in the rayon family, silks, linens, and nearly ALL natural fibers don’t like heat! Cold washing and line drying is the best way to launder these items!
- Most designers who work in very luscious, higher grade textiles would say keep your washing to a minimum! Just like the hair on your head: washing stresses out your fabric! It is not necessary to wash your garments unless they are specifically dirty.
- If you line dry an item and the temperature outside is above 98 degrees, it is similar to having your item in the dryer.
- IF YOU SHRINK AN ITEM, HERE'S A KILLER TIP THAT MIGHT SAVE YOUR GARMENT: Ok, so really, ALL materials will shrink a little even with cold water. That's the reason if you wash your jeans and you take them out to hang dry, they are still a little more snug than when you last wore them. The reason? Fibers in textiles contract to absorb both liquid -- which is why a dryer makes matters SO much worse because it locks the fibers in a twisted, contracted form. BUT-- did you know that applied heat such as an iron or a steamer (or even a hair dryer if you're really in a pinch) will uncoil and un-contract the single fibers by flattening them back to grain and thusly expanding the shrunken garment? This is a hot tip, y'all... one that took me 10 years making apparel to learn!
- Cupro is everyone’s favorite fabric these days. It is a plant-based fiber that mirrors washed silk, and is far less fussy at the seams (doesn’t fray like silk can). That said, if you spill a spot of liquid—even water—on cupro, it acts like a plant would act absorbing water. In order to even out the spot where the liquid has spilled, you must saturate the entire garment so that absorption disperses evenly. Recommended: just cold wash and lay flat or line dry.
- Steaming is a great way to relieve wrinkles. Pro tip: hang up your silk items in your bathroom when you shower and they’ll steam out beautifully!
-
At the end of the day, the take home message from nearly every designer in the world: dryers are the enemy of textile, and ultimately, your clothes are very much like your hair: washing stresses them out. Garments made out of plant based fibers will try to absorb water and will shrivel from tumbled heat.
