{"product_id":"raw-amethyst-chevron-ring-silver-plated","title":"Raw Amethyst Chevron Ring | February Birthstone | Silver-Plated Copper Electroformed | Made to Order","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeven raw amethysts, deep and violet as twilight, arranged in a chevron V and set in silver-plated electroformed copper. The cool silver makes the purple read richer and more saturated, each stone sitting in its own oxidized cup. Amethyst is one of the oldest stones in the human story of adornment, worn by royalty and carried by travelers, and in its raw form it carries something of that original quality, before it was ever cut or polished into something more legible. This ring is for the ones who are drawn to depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmethyst is associated with calm, clarity, and intuition. It is the birthstone for February and is connected to the crown and third eye chakras. Wear it when you need to quiet your mind, trust your instincts, or simply feel held by something that has been meaningful for a very long time.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Amethyst\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmethyst is a variety of quartz colored purple by iron and natural irradiation during formation. Found on every continent, with notable deposits in Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia, it forms in geodes and alluvial deposits in a range from pale lavender to deep violet. These raw crystals carry their natural growth surfaces, unpolished and immediate in a way that faceted amethyst is not. Amethyst is the birthstone for February and is associated with the crown and third eye chakras, calm, and the quieting of an overactive mind. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful stone with a meaning that fits real life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRaw Amethyst Chevron Ring: Materials \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: Raw rough amethyst, rich purple, natural crystalline surface.

The copper grows directly around each stone, creating a setting completely unique to each piece. The chevron shape is formed by hand, then the ring is passed through the silver bath multiple times to build up a thick, substantial silver layer over the copper base. The recessed areas are oxidized to create contrast and depth between each stone cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Note on Stone Variation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmethyst is a natural stone and each piece will vary in color depth, from pale lavender to deep violet, and in surface texture. Your ring will be similar to the one shown but entirely one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmethyst is relatively durable but avoid hard impacts. Remove before swimming, bathing, or applying lotions and perfumes. Store dry. The multi-layer silver-plated finish is more durable than standard plating and will hold up well with normal wear. A light buff with a silver polishing cloth will restore the bright silver surfaces if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGift Packaging\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips gift-ready in natural packaging with a handwritten note card.
