This raw sunstone ring features a genuine raw sunstone in warm golden-orange, its natural unpolished surface sparkling with tiny metallic flecks that catch the light as you move — a phenomenon called aventurescence. Warm copper grows directly around it in your choice of bright or antique finish. A joyful, energizing presence for daily wear. A piece that literally glitters in the sun.

Sunstone is associated with joy, confidence, and radiant self-expression. A sacral chakra stone. Wear it when you need to feel alive and lit up.

Why Raw Sunstone

Sunstone is a naturally occurring feldspar mineral, its warm golden-orange color and distinctive glittery flash — called aventurescence — the result of tiny platelets of hematite or goethite reflecting light within the stone. Found primarily in Oregon, Norway, and India. Oregon sunstone is the official state gemstone of Oregon. Long associated with joy, vitality, and the sacral chakra (Svadhisthana). It is chosen in its raw, unpolished form so the crystal’s natural geometry and surface character are fully preserved. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful stone with a meaning that fits real life.

How This Handmade Sunstone Ring Is Made

Each raw sunstone ring is made to order in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select every raw crystal for its color depth and aventurescent flash, then encase it in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around the stone through an electrical process, forming the band organically. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade ring from this studio is one of a kind.

About Electroforming

Electroforming is an ancient technique reimagined for modern jewelry.
Copper molecules bond to each stone over several hours, creating organic textures and secure settings. Learn more about our process.

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.

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 jewelry while swimming, showering, or applying lotions, as moisture may alter the patina over time.

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 $5
  • Applied directly to your copper ring, cuff, or bracelet before shipping
  • Clear finish — no change to the look or feel of your piece
