Rose Quartz Sterling Silver Ring

Name: Rose Quartz Sterling Silver Ring
SKU: JAN RQ R-A

Beautifully polished Rose Quartz, set in an adjustable sterling silver wrap style ring. This stunning ring can cleverly span ring sizes H-Q (UK) or 4-8¼ (US), without compromising the original design concept too much.

Rose Quartz measures approximately 16x10mm. Ring band is 2.5mm at narrowest point (rear). Height (the length it will span your finger when worn) is approximately 32mm. Ring will be sent in a Two Skies gift box with 'Colourful Quartzes' pamphlet, ready for gifting.

Our photographer has small hands, so please check measurements as the ring may look smaller or larger on your own hand. As sizing rings can sometimes be a delicate business, we are happy to size the ring for you before sending - just let us know in the comments box 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.

Rose Quartz, appropriately commonly known as the 'love stone' or 'heart stone'. Records show this pale pink gem being exchanged as a token of affection as early as 600 BC. And while it's mainly believed to attract romantic intimacy, it can also be used to promote bonding within groups, increase harmony with nature, strengthen self-belief, and enhance awareness of beauty wherever it can be found.
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.
