This ring is inspired by samplers. Samplers are traditional hand-made cloths that were made in the Netherlands from the 17th century to the 20th century. They were intended as practice pieces for young girls to learn and perfect different embroidery techniques, but they also served as a kind of portfolio of their skills. A typical sampler was made using various embroidery techniques, such as cross stitch, flat stitch, running stitch, openwork stitch and more. In addition, initials, dates, motifs, symbols and sayings were often embroidered. These elements could serve as personal accents or as instructions for the maker. I also inherited a beautiful practice piece from my grandmother, who loved needlework.925 silver the oval ornament has a size of 17 mm by 12.5 mm the image is a bird in cross stitch handmade and packed in a beautiful eco-friendly box
