This stone catches and reflects light at every angle! It's a light gray with a cool tone that matches pretty much anything…and it's very comfortable to wear.
Quartz is a wonderful stone for using in meditation as it's said to help in clarity of mind and facilitate energy flow. I feel like that describes this stone perfectly. Each crystal formation is beautiful and the overall color is very calming.
The stone is set in a fine silver bezel against a sterling silver backplate and ring shank. I've oxidized, brushed, and sealed the silver.
Dimensions of the backplate: 1.25 inches tall, 1 inch at the widest point
Size 7.5

All my pieces are handmade using eco-friendly silver, fair trade beads and stones, genuine sea glass I've personally collected, and naturally outlet shed antlers I've been lucky enough to find.
When creating my jewelry, my first question is: how can the metal best complement the centerpiece? I use a variety of smithing techniques such as wire working, sweat soldering, hand tooling, chain forging, basic soldering, and bezel setting to make silver and mixed metal pieces.
In order to protect the metals, I apply several coats of Renaissance Wax over a period of 2-3 days after finishing the piece. This is a microcrystalline substance that prevents tarnish and/or fading of patinas. It doesn't alter the look or feel of the metal; it just ensures the piece will continue to look as it did the day it was shipped.
Thank you for looking!
