Some people tie a string around their finger to remember something important. This silver coil is a much better reminder. Featuring a clear, pale green peridot stone and tiny silver disc accent, the band is brushed for a matte texture. 

Size US 6.25. This ring can be adjusted to be a half size smaller or larger. Please leave a note when you check out if you'd like to make an adjustment.

Materials:

sterling silver, peridot

Peridot is a rare type of olivine stone which either forms within lava or lands on earth with a meteorite. Unlike many other stones, peridot comes only in one color: green. The amount of iron contained in the crystal determines the intensity of the color.

Pebble-textured silver wraps three times around your finger for this ring. A super clear, pale purple amethyst sits on top, the prettiest pebble of them all.

Size US 6.

Materials:

sterling silver, fine silver, amethyst

Famous for it's striking purple color, amethyst is one of the most popular gemstones. Like smokey quartz, rose quartz and citrine, amethyst is a particular kind of quartz that has been subjected to just the right amount of heat and pressure to cause the purple hue. Clear quartz is often heat treated to cause the color change artificially, but Everyday Elemental makes every effort to use only naturally-occurring amethyst.

This down-to-earth ring could have been knitted from white and teal yarn. Instead it's a beautiful green-striped fluorite stone set upon a double-ring band. A shiny silver bezel surrounds the stone, completing the casual look.

Size US 6.25

Materials:

sterling silver, fine silver, fluorite

Pure fluorite is a transparent crystallization of calicium fluoride. But, due to mineral inclusions, radiation, and pressure, it can appear with in different colors, often with interesting banded patterns. Fluourite also glows in black (ultraviolet) light. In fact, the very idea of glowing in ultraviolet light - fluorescence - gets its name from this mineral.

You could certainly re-imagine an hourglass made of block-shapes rather than conical ones, but I'm not sure it would be as effective for telling time. This ring, however, is quite effective at showing off these two blocky, clear carnelian stones!

These stones are channel set, which means they're held in place by silver 'walls' on either side. All those straight lines are complemented by a round and shiny silver band.

Size US 7.75

Materials:

sterling silver, carnelian

Carnelian is a particular kind of agate that comes in translucent colors from yellow to red to brown. The deep warm color is caused by iron oxide mixed in with the clear silica found in all types of agate.

A chalcopyrite (copper ore) disc sits atop a disc of copper. The copper disc sits atop a silver disc. Set on top of a simple silver band, it's metal all the way down... at least until you get to your finger.

Size US 7.75

Materials:

sterling silver, fine silver, copper, chalcopyrite

Chalcopyrite is a type of copper ore typically found near sites of ancient hydrothermal activity. Since copper is one of its main components, this is a stone that can tarnish over time (to a beautiful iridescent purple color!) and is mildly electrically conductive.

This stone gets its color from copper and not photosynthesis, but you'd be forgiven for thinking about plants as you gaze into the green. The big stone is surrounded by a shiny silver bezel and sits on top of a double band shank.

Size US 10

Materials:

sterling silver, chrysocolla

Prized for it's bright range of blue and green colors, chrysocolla has been used for thousands of years in jewelry and decorative art. The mineral composition of different types of chrysocolla varies widely, but they typically contain a basic copper silicate and some aluminum.

Chrysocolla is a softer stone, so it should be worn gently. Clean only with warm soapy water and avoid harsh chemicals.

Sculpted from a raw block of tiger's eye, this free-form stone flashes gold to bronze to deep brown. It is framed by four simple prongs and sits on a shiny double band.

Size US  9

Materials:

sterling silver, tiger's eye

Tiger's eye, like its relative hawk's eye, are pseudomorphs of quartz, which means they changed from one mineral to another over time. Tiger's eye started out as crocidolite and was transformed into quartz with a high iron content, which is where it gets its golden honey coloration. The fibrous composition of crocidolite causes a silky, layered-looking structure and catches the light in fascinating ways. Usually reflecting in stripes and bands, this effect is known as 'chatoyance.' It occurs when very thin layers of a mineral sit parallel to each other and to the overall axis of the crystalline structure.

In ancient Rome, purple porphyry was considered sacred and its use restricted to emperors and their families. You don't need to be royal to wear this modern porphyry ring, but you might feel like you are.

This particular stone was shaped by hand from a slab of raw stone. Two geometric silver shapes frame the oval-shaped porphyry asymmetrically. A darkly oxidized channel emphasizes the border between the shapes and the stone. A shiny bezel and double banded shank complete the picture.

Size US 10

Materials:

sterling silver, fine silver, porphyry in basalt

Porphyry is a description of a texture rather than of a stone itself. It is characterized by clusters of crystals, often plaglioclase, embedded within a larger rock. This particular stone has porphyritic clusters within black basalt.

Materials:

sterling silver 

Great for fidgety fingers, this ring features a super fine twisted silver band that spins around. The ring flares out a bit at both ends to hold the spinny bit in place. A subtly fading hammer texture adds some visual depth. 

Size US 5.75

Materials:

sterling silver

Silver, oh silver. This lustrous white metal is amazing - more reflective than gold, more conductive than copper and just plain gorgeous. When used for jewelry, silver is mixed with copper or zinc to provide more durability and reduce tarnishing. Fine silver is 99.9% silver while sterling silver is 92.5%. Other alloys are used for specific processes, such as reticulation (80% silver). All silver will tarnish over time, but can be easily cleaned and polished.
