This sunstone ring features a warm, honey-toned 8x6mm oval cabochon, its surface alive with aventurescence, that golden shimmer that moves beneath the stone like captured firelight, as copper grows organically around it in a one-of-a-kind electroformed setting. A radiant, grounding presence for everyday wear. A quiet anchor you can reach for, layered with your everyday pieces or worn alone.

Sunstone is associated with vitality, confidence, and joyful energy. It activates the sacral and solar plexus chakras, the seat of personal power and creative fire. Wear it when you need a reminder that your light is not something you have to earn.

Why Sunstone

Sunstone is a member of the feldspar mineral group, its signature sparkle caused by tiny platelets of hematite or goethite suspended within the stone. That optical effect, aventurescence, makes every stone a living thing in the light. Long associated with the sun, Leo and Libra energy, and the harvest season. Chosen for its warm golden-orange color, its luminous depth, and its energetic alignment with confidence and creative power. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful stone with a meaning that fits real life.

How This Handmade Sunstone Ring Is Made

Each sunstone ring is made to order in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select every stone for its aventurescence and depth of color, then encase it in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around the stone through an electrical process, layer by layer, until the setting is organic, solid, and entirely one of a kind. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade gemstone ring from this studio is unique.

Wide band note: Due to the electroformed band, this ring wears slightly snug. If you are between sizes, size up.

Finish Options

Bright copper: Warm, polished, golden-toned. Develops a natural patina over time that deepens the character of the piece.

Antique copper: Oxidized finish with intentional dark contrast in the recesses. Rich, earthy, and aged-looking from day one.

Care

Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Polish with a soft cloth to maintain shine (Bright finish) or let the patina deepen naturally (Antique finish). Sunstone is a 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale; avoid hard impacts.

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
