Why recycled metals? Because by recycling our jewelry, there is less mining, and fewer disruptions to the species and people living in the areas of mines. I use recycled metals and packaging so that we can both feel good about shopping online!
Smooth and rich brown with a large presence, this r smoky quartz is a natural stone that measures 10 x 12 mm, and is bezel set in my handcrafted setting. The band is approximately 2 3/4 mm wide and 7mm tall. It's super comfy to wear, and the profile is as low as can be for the depth of the stone. Because it's bezel set you don't have to work about scratching yourself and others, or catching in your hair the way prongs can. It also doesn't get hung up in your jeans pockets. The bezel protects the stone beautifully :)
This ring is offered in tarnish free Argentium silver, which is 925 sterling silver alloyed with other metals to reduce the instance of tarnish over time.
brushed FinishAbout my work:
I make all of my jewelry in my small workshop in Keene, New Hampshire. Handmade jewelry is my passion and this is a dream come true for me and I appreciate all of your support throughout the years.
Recycled Metals and Ethically Sourced Gemstones:
I only use recycled metals to minimize the effect of mining on the environment. I use ethically sourced conflict-free gemstones from all over the world.
Custom Work:
I can customize this piece in different metals or with a different gemstone. I would also be thrilled to work with you on a completely custom piece where we work together to create the piece you are envisioning. Please send me a message if you are interested.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
To eliminate the need to clean often simply rinse a ring every time you wash your hands and remove it during lotion application, returning it when your hands are dry.
Avoid cleaning with chemicals, including bleach, chlorine and jewelry dips. These can actually damage to metal and some soft gemstones. There are a number of ways to clean your gemstone and precious metal jewelry, the simplest and least expensive of which is using a hot water soak. Add a pinch of Oxyclean to a cup of hot (NOT boiling) water. Soak for 10 minutes, use a soft bristled toothbrush to remove any residual debris under the stone and in crevasses. Rinse
well and dry. I love Wrights Silver polish and stock it in our Online shop as an add on. Just rub with a cloth and sterling is given a beautiful clean shine. Ultrasonic cleaners use high frequency sound waves to loosen debris and work very nicely.
