5 out of 5 starsRandy went above and beyond to help make my ring perfect. He did extensive research to ensure the rune quote I wanted was as true to the original artifact as possible. He kept me updated as the weeks went by with the progress, and it was shipped out in a timely manner, even considering the fact that Texas just went through the biggest snow storm in recent memory. In addition, the pictures on the listing do not do the ring justice— it’s even more beautiful in person. Well worth the money for such wonderful craftsmanship and customer service. Thank you so much for your dedication, Randy!

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.

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;

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:
