These unique and amazing sterling silver ring has been frame set with a fascinating Ammonite fossil. This ring is a real statement piece.

The clever adjustable feature allows this ring will fit sizes P-W (UK) and 7¾-11 (US) due to the open design of the band.  Gemstone measures approximately 44x35mm.  Comes presented in a Two Skies jewellery box with story card, ready for gifting.

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.

Additional Info

Ammonites


Roaming the oceans as far back as 200 million years ago, these squid-like sea creatures are fossilised relatives of the chambered nautilus shell. The name "ammonite" was inspired by the spiral shape of the fossilised shells, which somewhat resemble tightly coiled rams' horns. It is thought the name derived from the Greek God Ammon, who is typically depicted wearing rams horns.

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.
