Entirely handmade by me in my Connecticut studio. The teardrop-shaped tourmaline cabochon in this ring appears colorless, although it is actually a very light shade of green. There is a fascinating red inclusion in the stone that appears and disappears depending on the angle at which it is held. A scrying ring for sure. It is U.S. size 9.
I use only argentium sterling silver for my ear wires and the other silver elements in my jewelry. Argentium sterling silver is a hypoallergenic alloy of silver using only recycled silver. It contains more pure silver than ordinary sterling (93.5% or 94%, vs. a minimum of 92% for other sterling). It contains no nickel. It is very durable, and unlike ordinary sterling silver, it is tarnish-resistant.
Tourmaline is a birthstone for October.
