Glittering Iron Pyrite Sterling Silver Statement Ring
Glittering Iron Pyrite Sterling Silver Statement Ring
A unique and unusual ring of glittering natural Iron Pyrite! A truly individual piece, set in 925 sterling silver with a wonderfully textured, antique finish. An eye-catching conversation starter!
The clever design of the band means that the ring can be carefully adjusted to span sizes P-Z+2 (UK) and 8-13½ (US scale). Pyrite measures roughly 21x22x18mm. Your new ring will be sent in a quality Two Skies presentation box, ready for gifting.
Please note that our photographer's hands are fairly small, please check with a ruler if uncertain of scale. As setting adjustable rings can sometimes be a delicate procedure, we are happy to set the size for you before we sent it out to you - just let us know in the 'free gift card message' field or at checkout.
RESIZING ADJUSTABLE RINGS
It is quite easy to change the size of the ring yourself as long as you go slowly and are careful, manipulating the inner area of the band with warm fingers, rather than pulling at the end sections – this will help keep a round shape too. This ring will span quite a few sizes without compromising the original design concept. Once set, it is advisable not to resize again, as silver is quite soft and can become brittle and snap if bent too frequently.

Iron Pyrite
Iron Pyrite, otherwise known as "Fool's Gold", is a naturally occurring, perfectly formed cubic cluster of a yellow gold mineral. The metallic and slightly brassy lustre means that countless prospectors have mistaken it for its' more valuable look-a-like. 'White iron pyrite' or marcasite is often used in jewellery, and was at the height of popularity in the Victorian era and with art noveau designers. However, we at Two Skies love to be different and have used unpolished cubic pyrite for a range of most unusual rings and pendants.
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.
