Connemara Marble Sterling Silver Ring
Hand collected, cut and polished Irish Connemara Marble set in a 925 sterling silver adjustable ring.
The clever design of the band means that this ring can span sizes L½-T (UK scale) and 6-9¾ (US scale). Gemstone measures approximately 20x12mm and the width of the band is on average 3mm (which gently tapers at open end).
Please note that our photographer's hands are fairly 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.
A Celtic cousin of our Scottish Highland Marble - Connemara Marble, also known as Connemara Green or Irish Green, is mined from an ancient vein of rare 600 million year old marble which runs through the area of Clifton, the capital of the Connemara district in the west of Ireland. Only one mine continues to operate today, making obtaining genuine rough material very difficult. Said to comprise '40 shades of green', Connemara Marble has long been loved by the people of the Emerald Isle as a token of friendship and good luck.
