X Large Amethyst Ring, Horizontal

Natural raw amethyst copper solitaire ring, handmade with love and care. Size of gemstone is 19-22 mm.

Please allow 3-5 working days for your ring to be created in your ring size.

Each piece comes beautifully packaged, ready for gifting, with the relevant gemstone info card, thank you note and care instructions. 

The gemstones we use are raw and unpolished, so they might have some” imperfections”. (In our opinion it adds to the beauty and individuality of each piece!) 

Jewellery pieces are created by a process called copper electroforming, which allows for the deposition of copper electrolytes over several hours in a copper/acid solution. This results in unique and unpredictable textures, as the entire process is organic.

Please be aware that the colour of copper darkens over time, and the item can be cleaned using a sachet of Copperbrite and a soft cloth. (Available here) Copper can potentially turn the skin green as it reacts with the chemicals in some skins. A coat of clear nail polish will prevent this.
