Size 6.5 | Quiet Forest Ring | True to Size | #10

As quiet as a path through a snowy forest.  

This ring is made from a natural, snowy dendritic agate/merlinite stone, which is set in a hand smithed bezel of sterling silver. 

The stone has been set atop a triple half-round band that measures about 6mm wide. It should fit true to size!

Around the stone is a carefully forged, hammered branch border. Aged and textured to look like a gnarled leafless limb wrapping the gemstone in its arms. 

The ring has been oxidized and polished to give the it an organic and weathered feel.

♥ All of the pieces in my collections are handmade and hand-finished, and make use of natural and recycled materials. All items will have slight, natural imperfections rendering each piece unique. It is these variations and imperfections which denote their handcrafted nature and individual character, specially made for every wearer.

♥ To create my antiqued pieces, the sterling silver is oxidize until dark gray. Oxidation is a process that happens over time naturally to sterling silver. Then the piece is brushed and polished until the highlights are lighter and the lowlights are darkened. But this oxidization is not permanent, and will fade in the areas that rub, and stay dark in the recesses. The patina will change over time, making your piece unique to you, and growing more beautiful with wear.
