5 out of 5 starsBeautiful work and very excited for this ring. Seller was great with last minute ring size change and it fits perfectly. Highly recommend. I wish they made this in gold as well but the sterling silver is very light weight.

About ArgentumArcana
Designs inspired by the art and jewelry of ancient times, both real and imagined
From before I can remember I’ve been an artist. And, almost as far back, I’ve been fascinated by making things by hand. I would get any kind of kit I could get my hands on. As a preteen I had leather tooling kit, wood carving set, rock tumbler, a metal embossing kit, a mini loom among others. I even had an antique set of molds for casting toy soldiers and cannons in metal. I’m pretty sure the metal was intended to be pewter but I collected lead (yes, lead “Yikes”) from fishing lures and tire weights and melted those down to make my little armies. At 12 my parents gave me a lapidary kit for cutting and polishing gemstones and my interest in jewelry making was born. As a teen I became interested in lost wax casting, a technique that goes back to the middle ages and is used to create jewelry and other metal items, but alas, it proved to be cost prohibitive for my budget (paper routes really don’t pay as much as you would think) and I moved on to other teenage interests. Eventually, my interests led me to pursue a career in graphic design and illustration which I have called my “day job” for over 30 years now.
Over the years I also developed a love of history, archeology, anthropology, and antiquity. I’m tremendously inspired by ancient cultures and ancient times when everything was made by hand and people learned a skill well, and then took the time and care to handcraft beautiful, unique works of art and other handmade items. I have a special affinity for the artisans of the Vikings, Celts, and Anglo-Saxons and pretty much anything medieval. The art and metalwork of those cultures simply blow me away. A few years ago I decided that I would combine my love of the work of these ancient artisans with my longtime interest in designing and making things by hand and embark on a new journey, creating artisan jewelry of my original designs; My goal is to combine those ancient techniques and aesthetics with a bit of modern alchemy to create jewelry that my customers will love as much as I do. I hope that you’ll find something here that YOU love.
About the name: Argentum is the Latin word for Silver and Arcana is Latin for Mysterious. I wanted a name that embodied the romance of ancient times lost to myth and legend. Yes, I know, we also sell jewelry in bronze and, in the near future, I hope to add gold to our shop. But Argentum et Aes et Aurum Arcana is a bit of a mouthful.
So, welcome to Argentum Arcana! Have a look around. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, please feel free to contact us. We do take custom orders.
And on last thing – Please help us to spread the word liking or following us social media.

Additionally, I will make every reasonable effort to inform you when I interact with third parties with your information; however, you are solely responsible for reviewing, understanding, and agreeing to or not agreeing to any third-party privacy policies.
Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information from time to time if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I collect, use and share your information in several legally-permissible ways, including:
- As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide you with customer support;
- When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list or to receive notifications from me;
- If necessary to comply with a court order or legal obligation, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
- As necessary for my own legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as (a) providing and enhancing my services; (b) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use;
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Protecting my customers’ personal information is crucially important to my business and something I take very seriously. For these reasons, I share your personal information only for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
- With Etsy. I share your information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use;
- With Third-Party Service Providers. I engage the following trusted third parties to perform functions and provider services to my shop:
Google Analytics, which helps me understand how visitors browse ArgentumArcana. You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
I share you personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services;
- In the Event of a Business Transfer. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
- In Compliance with Laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that doing so is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) perform legal obligations to which I am bound by agreements; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.
How Long I Store Your Information
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as otherwise described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce or perform under my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: five (5) years.
Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction has. If I am required to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
