A graceful tumble of oak leaves blowing about a sparkling gem, celebrating the allure of asymmetry and the healing power of embracing the unexpected (even when it seems like a tragedy). This ring design had its origins in an accident – a cracked stone and fair amount of tears, a reminder that broken things can be beautiful and deserving of love, an adaptation to injury that resulted in a beauty more complete than the original would ever have been. The example shown is handcrafted .940 Argentium silver set with a lovely pale brown smoky quartz, which is one of the less expensive gem options and sets a baseline for the pricing that centers on the time taken to create it. Pricing for a ring with a different stone may vary greatly depending on what you want, please contact me to arrange details. All of the silver and gemstones I use at Joy Garden are sourced from companies dedicated to environmental and social responsibility.
