I hold a special place in my heart for this stone – it marks one of the, if not THE first, gemstones I acquired when I embarked on my silver smithing journey.

The initial setting was ambitious, surpassing my beginner’s skill level. Eventually, I liberated it from its original setting, stashing it away, patiently awaiting a second chance at life.

And here it is – reborn in the form of a hand-carved wax masterpiece, cast in sterling silver, presenting the exquisite Ice Queen ring in all its polished glory. Sized at 6.5/6.75, this ring tells a story of resilience and transformation.

The stone itself is a spectacle, a clear quartz adorned with pyrite inclusions that will capture your gaze time and again. I cherish this stone and the ring it has become, and I'm confident you will too.
