Two Skies
Rhodochrosite Sterling Silver Oval Ring
Rhodochrosite Sterling Silver Oval Ring
Pale pink and beautifully polished oval Rhodochrosite, with interesting natural cream banding and swirls. Bezel set in a sterling silver ring.
Gemstone measures roughly 20x16x5mm. The clever adjustable feature allows this ring will fit sizes N-T (UK) and 6¾-9¾ (US) due to the open design of the band.
Comes in a Two Skies jewellery box.
Please note that our photographer's hands are 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.

Rhodochrosite
The name Rhodochrosite comes from the Greek rhodos, meaning “rose,” and khros, meaning “colour”. Rhodochrosite started life as a stalactite or stalagmite, and displays beautiful pink and pale cream shaded patterns in a concentric stripe or band format. Our Banded Rhodochrosite is mined in Capillitas, Argentina. Known as the ‘Stone of the Compassionate Heart’, Rhodochrosite is said to symbolise selfless love and promote emotional self healing.
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.
