Yooper Stone Sterling Silver Ring

I cut the stone in this ring from a piece of yooper sodalite that we found in the UP of Michigan on the south shore of Lake Superior. It's a pretty stone in a dark dalmatian like coloring. The stone setting measures about 9.6 mm across. The stone is a domed round shape. I crafted the ring setting from solid sterling silver. This ring is a set size 7. The band is about 1.9 mm wide and has a lightly hammered texture that I added. The underside of the ring setting was made using recycled silver that I'd melted down rolled and then textured. The stone glows orange under UV light. It will ship in a jewelry box. 

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. Brian  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.
