Custom Ring Sizing:
Let’s make sure I create the right size ring for you. I work with US ring sizes and I am very careful to size your custom rings to the size you order. Please double check the size you need before placing your order. You can do this by measuring the inside diameter (from one side to the other) of another ring you like the fit of. Please make sure the measurement is precise down to fractions of millimetres. If you are ordering a wide band please measure a wide band for fit, not a narrow band. Please send me this ID measurement along with the ring size you desire upon checkout. Alternatively ask me for a ring sizing tool. Unfortunately, not all ring sizers measure to the same size & jewelry store measurements are not always reliable, so I do need the inside diameter measurement to fit your custom ring. Resizing can be as much work as creating a new ring, therefore resizing fees start at $50 for bands and $100 for rings with stones, plus return shipping.
Personalization - Blessing your Ring - A Spiral River Exclusive:
In addition to being a jewelry artist, I am also an ordained minister. Therefore I am happy to bring blessings to your ring. If you would like this, please let me know what intentions you would like me to bring to your ring as I form it. I will repeat it like a mantra in my mind and in doing so the creation of the ring will be joined with your consciousness and wishes.
Turquoise attracts money, success and love. Its powers include protection, courage, friendship, and luck. It helps relax the mind and eases mental tension. Turquoise is sacred to many Native Americans and was also used by medicine men for healing. Turquoise is the December birthstone (Sagittarius) as well as a birthstone for Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces.
Gold’s beauty symbolizes wealth and prosperity. It is also said to facilitate communication between humans and a spiritual world. Gold has been associated with the numinous including the sun, divinity and eternal life throughout history.
Silver is closely linked to the moon and is a metal of clear light, the psychic mind, loving and healing, wisdom, self-control and reflection. It is said to have calming and cleansing properties while amplifying the energy of any gemstone it comes in contact with. It also symbolizes wealth and prosperity. In the esoteric tradition of the 7 Rays, silver is the metal of the 7th Ray (ceremony).
Please note these are natural untreated turquoise stones - as you wear them they will absorb your skins oils which may cause the stone to darken.
I am working with Mother Nature and natural stones, therefore exact sizes, shapes and colours vary. I take my photos in natural light to capture the true colour of my pieces. However various computer screens may change the colours.
