About this Product
My tribute to the Alien franchise. The 8th passenger. Like all of my gemstone pieces, this ring is truly one of a kind. I don’t use molds and won’t be able to recreate this exact design. I may attempt to make similar versions in the future, but they will never be identical. Ships ready to wear.
✦Details:
oxidized sterling silver
16 inch sterling silver chain
AAA faceted hessonite garnet stone
Ready made shipping: ships in 3-5 business days
✦ Included with ring:
Polishing cloth.
Anti tarnishing slip
Enchantments scroll :)
✦ Oxidized jewelry: Most of these pieces are specifically meant to look weathered and ancient. I have added a patina to them to bring out the details and give the piece a soul. Every piece is unique and the patina can deepen and change with continued wear, particularly with rings. Details and crevices may become even darker, higher textures may become shinier. Almost like the jewelry is alive and changing with us. Be aware that forcefully wiping with a polishing cloth on these pieces will remove the patina from any elevated texture making the silver shinier in these places. Dipping these pieces in any sort of liquid tarnish remover will completely dissolve the patina and likely completely change the look of your jewelry. I would personally advise against using tarnish remover for these particular pieces. Any listing with patina will be labeled as "oxidized sterling silver".

Meet the Maker
I've been making things for as long as I can remember. Experimenting early with small crafts, paints, needle and thread, sewing machines, and even clay from the woods I grew up in.
I've always been creating something and making a mess.
My art is inspired by nature, the odd, forest entities, the RPGs I played with friends and family over the years, my own dreams, and sometimes, really stupid shit.
How it’s Made
I make all my sterling silver and bronze jewelry using the lost wax casting method. This method is over 6000 years old.
Each piece is carved, melted, dripped, and sculpted one at a time by me using jeweler's wax. The wax is then made into a mold and then melted out by pouring molten metal into the mold creating a rough cast of the piece. I then hand polish, nurture, set stones, and occasionally decide what enchantments I think the piece would have. It's been fun musing with my friends and family what kind of magic we would imagine some of these pieces to hold. ♥

✦ Care instructions: keep your shiny sterling silver from tarnishing by limiting exposure to moisture, harsh chemicals, beauty products, pools, and salt water. It is inevitable that all sterling silver will gradually tarnish but you can slow and reverse this process by cleaning as needed with polishing cloth (included in your order) and storing in a cool, dry place. Ideally in an airtight bag or box with an anti-tarnish strip. (strip also included in your order.)
