Handcrafted Raw Chrome Diopside Ring
This raw chrome diopside ring features a genuine chrome diopside crystal with vibrant emerald-green hues—a stone of grounded heart healing, renewal, and connection to nature. I electroform each piece in my Santa Fe studio, a meditative process where copper is slowly deposited onto the chrome diopside crystal and organic elements over many hours, creating an organic, nature-inspired design. The copper develops a living patina that evolves beautifully with you.

Care Instructions
Chrome diopside is a relatively soft stone, so treat this handcrafted ring gently to avoid impacts and scratches. The copper will develop a beautiful living patina over time—polish with a soft cloth if you prefer brightness. Cleanse energetically by placing on selenite, in moonlight, or with sage smoke. Chrome diopside is a stone of grounded heart healing, so cleanse your chrome diopside ring regularly to maintain its verdant, renewing energy.
Crystal Lore
Chrome diopside, also known as the "Russian Emerald" or "Stone of Gaia," is a rare gemstone found primarily in Siberia. Its vibrant green color rivals that of emerald, earning it the nickname "the poor man's emerald," though its energy is uniquely powerful. This stone carries the grounding energy of the earth combined with the heart-opening properties of green crystals. This chrome diopside ring brings powerful metaphysical properties:
- Grounded Heart Healing: Opens the heart chakra while keeping you deeply connected to the earth's stabilizing energy
- Connection to Nature: Strengthens your bond with the natural world and helps you feel the healing power of the earth
- Renewal & Growth: Supports new beginnings and personal transformation with grounded, steady energy
- Emotional Balance: Soothes emotional wounds and brings calm, centered heart energy
- Abundance & Prosperity: Attracts wealth and success while maintaining gratitude and connection to what truly matters
- Compassion & Understanding: Opens your heart to empathy and helps you see situations from a place of love
- Vitality & Energy: Revitalizes your spirit and brings renewed enthusiasm for life
When to Wear Your Talisman
Wear this chrome diopside ring when you need heart healing that keeps you grounded and stable, during nature walks or outdoor meditation, or anytime you want to strengthen your connection to the earth. It's perfect for gardeners, nature lovers, and anyone who finds healing in the natural world. Many customers wear their chrome diopside rings daily as grounding talismans that keep them heart-centered, connected to nature, and emotionally balanced.
Each chrome diopside ring is handcrafted as a unique talisman in Santa Fe. Your chrome diopside ring arrives ready to bring grounded heart healing and verdant renewal to your daily life.
The Metal
The Metal
Each ring is electroformed in pure copper, a process that uses electricity to slowly grow metal over organic forms, stone, or wax-carved bases.
This ancient-meets-modern technique creates natural textures and one-of-a-kind variations — no two pieces will ever be the same.
All rings are nickel-free, can be sealed for daily wear, and finished by hand in our Santa Fe studio.
For centuries, copper has been worn as a grounding element — believed to
balance energy, support circulation, and keep the wearer anchored in
presence. It reminds us of our connection to the earth and our ability
to return to stillness.
The Stones
The Stones
Every stone is hand-chosen for its raw beauty — untouched, uncut, and full of natural detail.
Electroforming allows the metal to flow organically around the crystal, preserving its unique shape while creating a secure, enduring setting.
Minor differences in tone, texture, or patina are intentional — they reflect the individuality of both the material and the maker.
A Micro-Ritual For You
A Micro-Ritual For You
Before slipping your ring on, take a slow breath.
Let your thumb rest against the metal and remember what you wish to carry — grounding, protection, clarity, or calm.
Wear it as a small act of intention, a steady anchor that reminds you to return to yourself throughout the day.

Measure Your Ring Size At Home
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR RING SIZE AT HOME:
There are a couple of easy ways you can measure your ring size at home.
How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home
Some of the easiest methods to measure your ring size at home is by using a measuring tape or a piece of string or using a ring you already own.
✨ Option 1: Use a Ring You Already Own
- Choose a ring that fits the intended finger.
- Measure the inside diameter of the ring with a ruler (in millimeters).
- Compare the measurement to a standard ring size chart (for example: 16.5 mm = US size 6).
✨ Option 2: String or Paper Strip Method
- Cut a thin strip of paper (about 5 6 mm wide) or use a piece of string.
- Wrap it snugly (but not tightly) around the base of your finger.
- Mark where it overlaps, then measure the length in millimeters.
- Match the circumference to a ring size chart.
✨ Tips for the Best Fit
- Measure your finger at the end of the day, when it’s largest.
- Avoid measuring when your hands are very cold or hot.
- If you’re between sizes, go with the larger size for comfort.
- Wider bands can feel tighter consider sizing up 1/4 1/2 size.
If you’d like, tell me how you measured (inside of a ring you already own or the string/paper method), just send me the exact measurement in millimeters, and I’ll confirm the correct size for you.
Prefer something more accurate? I also offer plastic ring sizers in my shop - a reusable tool you can keep on hand for finding the perfect fit every time.
Sizing Guide & Fit
Each electroformed ring is unique in form and width.
Because the copper adds subtle thickness during formation, sizes may vary by approximately¼ to ½ size.
If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up slightly for wider bands.
Need a specific size? Custom sizing may be available for select designs. Choose Custom where available and add your preferred ring size in Order Special Instructions at checkout. We offer handmade rings in sizes 1–16, including quarter and half sizes, so you can get a perfect, personalized fit.
Do I Need Copper Protection?
Embrace the Patina
Some collectors love the rich, aged look that copper develops over time. This natural patina tells a story—of adventures taken, energies absorbed, and the passage of time. If you resonate with that earthy, vintage look, feel free to let your copper evolve organically.
Why add lacquer?
- Slows the natural darkening (patina) of copper
- Minimizes the chance of skin reactions
- Keeps copper looking brighter for longer
- Protects while preserving the earthy character of your jewelry
Details:
- Optional upgrade available for $6
- Applied directly to your copper ring, cuff, or bracelet before shipping
- Clear finish — no change to the look or feel of your piece
Care & Patina
Electroformed copper develops a natural patina over time — deepening into warm, earthy tones that tell the story of your wear.
To maintain brightness, polish gently with a soft cloth or a touch of lemon and salt.
To preserve the aged finish, simply wipe clean and store in a dry place.
Avoid wearing your ring while swimming, showering, or applying lotions, as moisture may alter the patina over time.

Orders ship within 3–5 ritual days via USPS, and you’ll receive tracking once your piece is on its way.
