Star Ring

The Star Ring, made by Ruchita Newrekar & Gillian Karatassos is a collaboration project for Gillian Trask. Star Ring was created with an intention of donating a part of the proceedings to Savannah's CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) ensuring every child in foster care has a fighting chance. Each piece of sterling silver is melted, and this exploration of pushing the boundaries of metal, with deliberate control of the heat, brings the sterling silver to life. Sculpting the sterling silver while molten creates an experience of empowerment. An energy that carries over to the wearer.

Ruchita Newrekar is a jewelry designer, and she recently received her MFA in jewelry from Savannah College of Art and Design, USA. Born and raised in Mumbai, India she traveled to the United States to further her education and expand her understanding of jewelry. She has designed jewelry for multiple renowned companies like Tory Burch, Kate Spade, and The Accessory Think Tank.
