Arthur's Seat Jasper Sterling Silver Spiral Ring
Arthur's Seat Jasper Sterling Silver Spiral Ring
Natural mottled Jasper, the material for this ring, was collected from Scotland's famous extinct volcano, Arthur's Seat, in Edinburgh. This sought after area for gemstone rocks is off-limits now, therefore making this rare Scottish jewellery!
The clever adjustable feature allows this ring will fit sizes O-U (UK) and 7¼-10¼ (US) due to the open design of the band. Jasper measures approximately 10x10x5mm.
Ring will come presented in a Two Skies branded jewellery box.
RESIZING ADJUSTABLE RINGS
It's quite easy to change the size of the ring yourself. Just go slowly and be careful, manipulating the inner area of the band with warm fingers rather than pulling at the end sections. This will help maintain its round shape. The ring can span several sizes without compromising the original design. However, once set, it is advisable not to resize it again. Silver is soft and can become brittle and snap if bent too frequently.

Arthur's Seat
Every year thousands of people make the walk up Arthur's Seat, to the highest point on the grass covered remains of an ancient volcano which last erupted 350 million years ago. The views of Edinburgh from Arthur's Seat are spectacular, and well worth the climb! Although origins of the name are uncertain, some claim there are links between Edinburgh and the legendary King Arthur, and that Arthur's Seat may well have been the site of Camelot. It has also been proposed that the name was a corruption of Àrd-na-Said, implying the "Height of Arrows", which over the years became Arthur's Seat, perhaps via "Archer's Seat".
Sterling Silver (925%)
Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content. Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver". At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
