Size shops 9.25 - Harebell Ring (dark purple amethyst. matte double layer textured band. forged pebbles. antique sterling silver. artisan) #20

✨Harebell Ring ✨

Named for that endlessly resilient flower often found clinging to granite cliff-faces above the alpine-line. Delicate flowers nodding their bell-shaped flowers, collecting dew on their flared petals. A delicate beauty that keeps itself alive despite being battered by wind and rain.

Over a hundred years ago, Christina Rossetti wrote a poem called “Hope Is Like a Harebell.” I had never read that poem before this year, though I studied her poetry in college. And it seems as though Rossetti felt the same thing as I about that humble flower: “Hope is like a harebell, trembling from its birth.” This design, this collection, is my humble interpretation of that idea. Amethyst growing amidst rough silver granite feels like a hopeful thing to me.

For this ring, oval amethysts are set atop beautifully flared sterling silver ring bands, seemingly spilling around the finger. The band is double-layered for heartiness and has been given a rough, stony texture with a few sterling pebbles off-setting the stone on either side.

A sturdy ring for blooming where you're planted.

It has been oxidized and hand polished for an organic look, and to bring out the lowlights of the texture on the band.

☀ Size US 9.25, on the mandrel.
☀ ATTENTION: Since it is a tapered band, it will fit snugly, it fits HALF - A FULL SIZE SMALL. Therefore it is recommended to purchase at least a half size larger than your regular size.
☀ See the photo of the ring being held for size reference
☀ This piece is part of the Violet Linings Collection, for the times that feel rough and difficult, and all you need is a bright spot of amethyst.

♥ Made in my work studio using time-consuming, age-old metalsmithing techniques. This piece is made with solid craftsmanship and all parts of this piece have been hand-fabricated.
______________________________________________

♥ 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 shops 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.
