The brooch I ordered was exactly like the picture. It is beautifully crafted and goes perfectly with the scarf that I have bought for my Aunties 90th Birthday gift. I know she will be thrilled to receive something that is so exquisitely crafted. Thankyou so much.

Sterling silver meditation spinner ring, 'Spinning Leaves'

Such sweet elegance!
My husband and I both wear these rings as wedding bands we love them so much. They are both comfortable and comforting. We get compliments on them often, and the soothing spinner feels like a clever secret. :)

About Handcrafted Jewellery
Men and women have adorned themselves with jewelry since long before the age of reason! Garlands of flowers, bracelets of woven grass, shells, and stone; such were the first decorations to beautify the human body. We may have been wearing jewellery as far back as 75,000 years ago - 30,000 years earlier than previously believed - according to a recent report by National Geographic News. Over the millennia, jewellery styles and materials have evolved in step with the advances of civilization. From the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, from the Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution (and seemingly back again!), jewellery styles have transformed, modernized, and then often returned to their most basic forms and essential elements.
