Emerald City · May Stackable Ring This design features a row of the best quality and color of little Emerald crystals I have ever found. Emerald is the birthstone for May; and Emerald represents truth and unconditional love. These sparkling bluish green crystals have a naturally square or rectangular shape & they are placed side by side vertically. I can't help but think of the Emerald City of Oz when I look at this one! *please note that some stones are square, some are rectangular, some have little white inclusions and some have small fissures- this variation is what happens when you take raw stones straight from the earth and it makes them more unique and beautiful! What it Represents: My vision for the Stackable Collection is for you to grow your collection over time- a ring to represent a new baby, to celebrate a 10 year anniversary, to honor a grandmother who has passed or an angel baby that you miss, to have a unique ring to represent each of your unique children, your own gorgeous birthstone to remind you to practice some self love, or just a unique way to wear your favorite color. You can build your ring stack to wear all at once, layer on different fingers, or change it up every day depending on your outfit. I can’t wait to see what you’ll represent and to hear the meaning behind your Little Sycamore ring stack!!! The Process: It begins with a handmade hammered band, which gives the ring a lot of pretty texture. Raw crystals are sorted through to find the best ones, and carefully placed onto the rings with the positioning just right, puzzle piecing the stones together, and the prettiest side facing upward. After creating a beautiful design, the ring and the base of the crystals are carefully hand painted with conductive paint. Using an electric current, metal deposits onto the ring and around the base of the stones for 15+ hours. This slow build up of metal creates a unique and organic looking setting that very securely holds the stones in place. The ring is tumbled, hand-polished, and can be left as is in silver or it can be plated in the thickest possible plating of 18k gold or rose gold. Long story short... a whole lot of time and love is put into this little beauty! The Materials: This ring is handcrafted with the very highest quality metal & stones. If ordered in silver you'll be able to wear it forever without ever needing it to be redipped since it's solid silver through and through (so I recommend choosing silver if you are hard on your rings). Or you can have it heavily plated in gold or rose gold (still as high of quality, you just may need us to redip it for you someday down the road). These rings will ship sooner if ordered in silver, longer if ordered in gold or rose gold. Note: For ring stacks, I recommend ordering a variety of sizes and sizing up because a stack is more comfortable that way. More advice about this can be found on my @littlesycamore instagram highlights. Some pictures are showing this design stacked with others.
