I remember the time I was in Italy when I was very young and the world was still so new. I stayed at a villa beside a vineyard and met a young chap one early afternoon (let’s call him Keith). One night, we lay on our backs in the tall grass beside the grape vines, and together we told stories of who we wanted to be while dozens of shooting stars darted across the Tuscan sky. I can still see their shimmering tails burning bright in my memory. I can still remember the perfume of fennel, and the blue-eyed Canadian whose last name I will never know.

This hollow ring is all sterling silver. Hallmarked. An impressive 1 3/8” round and 1/4” thick with a good heavy-gauge band.

I currently have one of these rings in a size 6.25.

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
