UP Michigan Prehnite Ring Size 7 in Solid Silver

This stone and ring were crafted by me within our home in Wisconsin. The stone in this ring is a natural paricianite that I found in the UP of Michigan. We find most of our prehnite snorkeling which when the water is warm enough is really amazing. Michigan prehnite ("pre-night") is a natural copper bearing stone. The pink color you see is from micro copper flecks within it. Stones of this type are fairly rare and small so you don't often see them in jewelry. It's a beautiful stone that's not very well known so odds are good that you won't know anyone else who has one. This ring is a set size 7. I made the setting from solid sterling and fine silver using recycled silver for the band and the back of the setting which I hand forged, formed and textured with a pebble like design. The stone setting measures about 11 x 14 in mm.  The band is about 3.4 mm wide. 

In the global market we encourage you to shop local by supporting artists and small businesses who cut stones safely and ethically within the U.S.A. All of our stones and fordite are made by us, within our home, in Wisconsin.

Our stones are mirror polished and so there will be reflections in the pictures. We take pictures in direct bright light that simulates what your stone will look like in direct sunlight. Stones look very different in low or artificial light. If it's dark when you receive them you can use the flashlight feature on your smart phone to see what they will look like in daylight. If you are new to semi precious stones please understand that these stones are natural and were found or dug from the earth. These are not faceted altered or manmade stones you see in stores. Natural stones (especially agates) may have features that would be considered flaws in a faceted stone or manufactured stone. Natural stones can have internal fractures, natural holes or geode areas. If there are features we as professional lapidary artists feel may detract from a stone we do our best to describe them in the listing description and show them in the pictures. We charge based on size and quality of the stone as well as market factors. We don’t dabble in the art of stone cutting. Brain is a full time lapidary artist so if you buy from us you are buying a high quality stone made by an experienced professional artist. We are a legitimate small business licensed as an LLC in Wisconsin. Our business mission is to create happiness through our art.
