Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. The druzy stone at the center is the sun itself, the constant around which all seasons turn. Every element of this ring was worked entirely by hand from raw sterling ingot — no casting, no shortcuts, no two alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe serrated bezel cradles the druzy stone in hand-cut teeth. The double band rises from a stamped backplate, split and forged from a single piece of ingot silver. Hand-stamped triangle wire wraps the shank. The entire surface is oxidized and hand-polished to bring every stamped detail into sharp relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHallmarked \u003cstrong\u003eR STERLING W\u003c\/strong\u003e on both bands — the mark of the maker, the mark of the metal, the mark of the mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand forged sterling silver (.925), titanium-coated druzy quartz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.46 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Completely hand forged from raw ingot silver — no casting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serrated bezel, hand-stamped triangle wire, hand-stamped double band, stamped backplate, four cone motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Titanium-coated druzy quartz (natural crystal formation with metallic titanium finish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oxidized and hand-polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallmark:\u003c\/strong\u003e R STERLING W stamped on both bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handcrafted in Bald Creek, NC, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDruzy (also spelled drusy or druse) refers to a layer of tiny natural quartz crystals that form on the surface of a host stone over millions of years — the result of mineral-rich water slowly evaporating and leaving behind a sparkling, crystalline crust. No two druzy stones are alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stone in this ring features a \u003cstrong\u003etitanium vapor deposition coating\u003c\/strong\u003e — a common and accepted practice in the gemstone industry — which gives it its distinctive metallic silver finish. The natural crystal formation beneath remains intact, and the titanium surface catches and shifts light with every movement of the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStone Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe titanium-coated druzy surface is delicate.
