Faceted Indigo Iolite I set into into my handcrafted Sterling Silver ring. The piece features a full bezel setting made of eco friendly recycled Silver and a gorgeous blue 9mm "Water Sapphire" as Iolite is also known.
The setting is approximately 6mm off of the finger in profile and the band width is 2.75 to 3mm with a slight taper towards the gemstone. Each piece is handcrafted and polished to a high shine at Onegarnetgirl HQ in New Hampshire.
Iolite is said to help with relationships, clarify the mind and thinking process, assists in detoxification, helps when dealing ith addiction, and helps to keep one focued on staying "here now" in the moment. This is just a few fo Iolite's metal physical properties.
Aside from these propeties, iolite is the most lovely periwinkle to indigo blue, and exhibits pleochroism properties. The property is caused by an optical phenomenon by which the grains of a stone appear to have different colors when observed at different angles.
This piece is made to order in your size at the time of your order.

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.
