A naturally bright green gaspeite square sits on top of this solid sterling silver ring. Surrounding the little stone are dots and braid patterned antiqued to bring out the details, and a high-polished sterling silver band tapers down to the back.
Individuality should be celebrated! Your natural gemstones are naturally, and perfectly imperfect: Unevenness in color or texture or finish in gemstones is normal. Expect to see some internal inclusions, dots, or flecks, and slight variations in size or color. We strive to provide an accurate description of our jewelry, but variations from the piece photographed can occur, and expect to see a slight difference in color from your device or monitor from the real thing.
Sterling Silver is composed of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper alloy, added to harden it. Sterling silver should be stored properly and kept from heavy chemicals to keep from tarnishing, but unlike many metals, it can be cleaned and returned to its original shine. Use the most gentle cleaner that can get the job done: Silver can be cleaned with a silver polishing cloth, or gentle all purpose jewelry cleaner. Be sure to protect stones when cleaning silver.
If you want your jewelry to last, remember the old saying: “Jewelry should be the last thing you put on, and the first thing you remove”.
Keep it clean by keeping it away from chemicals, lotions, perfumes, excessive humidity, and protect from heavy, hard wearing activities such as sports, heavy work, or vigorous exercise. The main culprits that shorten the life of your jewelry are: never taking it off, wearing it while sleeping, wearing it in hot tubs and pools, and while playing sports. Store in an airtight container such as jewelry box or zip lock baggie while not wearing. When storing long term, make sure to clean and dry thoroughly before storing.
