Blue Topaz Ring, December Birthstone, Hammered Sterling Silver, Hallmarked

A handmade hammered silver band, gypsy set with a small blue topaz. The classic November birthstone - sky blue, clear, and a fresh take on a winter classic. Made by hand in England and hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The ring photographed shows the design and finish. Your ring will be made to order with a blue topaz set in the same gypsy setting. ABOUT THE GEM. Honesty, communication, calm. Blue topaz has the clarity of a winter sky. The colour is bright, clean, and very wearable. SPECIFICATION. Sterling silver band, hand hammered for a soft texture and gentle catch of light. Approximately 5mm wide, 1mm thick. SIZING. Each ring is made to your size. Please leave your UK ring size at checkout, or message me if you forget. If you are unsure, take a ring you already wear comfortably to a high street jeweller. Most will measure it for free in a couple of minutes. HALLMARKING. Hallmarked at the London Assay Office, the oldest assay office in the UK. The leopard's head mark has been struck on London silver since 1300. Even where the weight falls below the legal threshold, I send these pieces for assay because the mark is part of what I want every customer to receive. MADE BY HAND IN ENGLAND. Each ring is made one at a time in my studio. No two are identical. The hammered surface picks up its own pattern of marks as it is worked, so yours will be uniquely yours. CARE. Wear it. Sterling silver develops a soft patina over time which only adds to the character. If you'd prefer it bright, a polishing cloth restores the shine in seconds. Avoid wearing in chlorinated water or while using harsh cleaning products.
