This ring was handmade with a Charoite gem and .925 sterling silver. Size 8.25 *Our jewelry can get wet because it is high quality .925 sterling silver. But, we do not recommend it! Our jewelry will never turn your skin green. Although, over long periods of time precious metals oxidize through water exposure because of minerals in water. To preserve the quality over long period of time we suggest minimizing getting jewelry wet. :)* About Charoite: Healing Properties:Sometimes called a "stone of transformation," charoite is thought to aid the transformation of negative emotions into positive ones. It is believed to encourage inner strength, assertiveness, creativity and self-esteem. Birthstone:Sagittarius and Scorpio Gemstone History:Originally thought to have been discovered in Russia in the 1940s, charoite was not described until the late 1970s, when its beauty was finally recognized. Sources disagree whether this striking purple rock was named for the region's Chara River or for the Russian word chary (meaning charms or magic).
