I don’t know why, but this ring reminds me of the movie vertigo. Sleek and angular, the face of this beauty is grainy and industrial and everything that I adore in a good jewel. This little piece was born out of the idea for another ring on my site, The Ring That Launched Them All. It all started with a ‘what if that line wasn’t exactly parallel’, and that’s all she wrote.

The square peep hole of this sterling silver beauty is accented with sterling wire, and the patina collects in all of the little recesses and makes her shimmer. It starts at 1” at the top and tapers down just a bit. Just a hair over 1/4” thick, this hollow form sits atop a nice wide band. So comfortable on the finger.

Be in the know!

• This piece has been patinated and given a final seal with wax. To maintain the integrity of your new friend, please refrain from washing your hands while wearing, and avoid any situations where vigorous scrubbing or rubbing is involved. While it’s not exactly delicate, all patinated jewelry is vulnerable to abrasion and must be treated with care (this goes for all of the jewelry you buy in general).

• As we all know, sterling silver jewelry tarnishes. The best way to combat tarnish aside from wearing it—YES, actually wearing your silver prevents it from oxidizing— is to store your jewels in a zip-lock bag with the air squeezed out, and if you can add a little anti-tarnish slip with it, all the better. Incidentally, your lovely has been shipped in a zip-lock along with a little anti-tarnish snip.

• Store your new lovely in the zip-lock bag along with the anti-tarnish snip, inside of the muslin provided with your order and she should remain pristine. Also, please store all of your jewelry alone to avoid your pieces rubbing against and scratching each other.

THANK YOU for buying handmade. May you always stand out in a crowd like the amazing being that you are! xo
