In 1989, a finely-wrought copper Saxon ring was unearthed in the village of Wedmore, Somerset.
The ring's origins are a mystery: although Wedmore was a site of special significance to King Alfred,
no other item of Saxon jewellery has ever been found there. All we know is that it was the
custom of Saxon kings to reward their beloved companions with such a ring.

In the same village, over a thousand years later, goldsmith and jeweller Erica Sharpe
is recreating the ring in the same way as the original using two pieces of wire.
The gold is alloyed, drawn into the correct profile, knotted and woven into the elegant
pattern, and forged to make the finishing twist.All that holds the ring together is
the tension and pattern of the knotwork .

Each of these hand-made rings bears its own number and unique
Wedmore seal stampled on the inside and recorded on the certificate.
An intricate, elegant piece to treasure for generations.
