Black Spinel Cocktail Ring in Recycled Sterling Silver:

12mm round natural black spinel ring

Similar in appearance to black diamond and black onyx, but stronger than onyx- Spinel is polished to a shine and beautifully faceted.

Spinel is phenomenally durable, a 9 on the MOHS hardness scale, and this stone is a whopping 12mm across, just around 1/2 an inch.

The solitaire sits about 8mm off the finger and pairs nicely with a band ring, or as a solitaire statement ring.

The beaded style band is a little over 1.7mm thick and tall.

An excellent choice for the non-traditional bride, as a statement ring for New Year's Eve, or to wear with stacking rings you customize and wear daily.

This setting was hand carved in wax, cast in metal, and hand polished, prepped, soldered and set in our workshop in Keene, NH. From concept to completion all settings are handcrafted and never utilize prefabricated components bought from jewelry supply catalogs.

I make all of my jewelry in my small workshop in Keene, New Hampshire. Handmade jewelry is my passion and this is a dream come true for me and I appreciate all of your support throughout the years.

Recycled Metals and Ethically Sourced Gemstones:
I only use recycled metals to minimize the effect of mining on the environment. I use ethically sourced conflict-free gemstones from all over the world.

Custom Work:
I can customize this piece in different metals or with a different gemstone. I would also be thrilled to work with you on a completely custom piece where we work together to create the piece you are envisioning. Please send me a message if you are interested.

Cleaning and Maintenance:
To eliminate the need to clean often simply rinse a ring every time you wash your hands and remove it during lotion application, returning it when your hands are dry.
Avoid cleaning with chemicals, including bleach, chlorine and jewelry dips. These can actually damage to metal and some soft gemstones. There are a number of ways to clean your gemstone and precious metal jewelry, the simplest and least expensive of which is using a hot water soak. Add a pinch of Oxyclean to a cup of hot (NOT boiling) water. Soak for 10 minutes, use a soft bristled toothbrush to remove any residual debris under the stone and in crevasses. Rinse
well and dry. I love Wrights Silver polish and stock it in our Online shop as an add on. Just rub with a cloth and sterling is given a beautiful clean shine. Ultrasonic cleaners use high frequency sound waves to loosen debris and work very nicely.
