Sterling silver meditation spinner ring, 'Paved Road'
By Diana
Superb Craftmanship
I was looking for a ring with mixed metals that was unique and made a statement. What I wasnt expecting was the excellent craftsmanship in this handmade ring. Im a silversmith and I know how much time it takes to finish a ring to this quality. You cant find a seam on it! Neetu, you are a true artist!
Citrine wrap ring, 'Golden'
By Shannon
Very Pretty!
I love this ring. I like the fact that it's somewhat adjustable (as it's not a solid circle), so when my fingers swell a bit it will still fit. Lots of fun and lots of compliments. The citrines are kind of a medium yellow.

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.
