Starry Amulet Ring I

A silver ring inspired by medieval posey and amulet rings - jewellery that carried inscriptions and symbols close to the skin. Features four-pointed stars engraved four times aroun d the circumference. The four-pointed star, like the quatrefoil in gothic architecture and the four-leaf clover today, has been a potent good luck charm for centuries. The four points symbolise balance, wholeness, totality and completion (think of the four points of the compass, the four elements, the four winds, the four quarters of the moon, the four rivers of Paradise, the four seasons…), and it can also represent the hermetic principle of ‘as within, so without’ - the law of correspondences, the macrocosm as a reflection of the microcosm. It’s rooted in spirituality, but it doesn’t have to be - it can simply be a reminder to seek balance in your own life: work and rest, giving and receiving, outward ambition and inner steadiness. Sterling silver. Band measures 2.5mm wide, 1.4mm thick. Ring size J. Due to the positions of the engravings this ring cannot be resized, but if you'd like to commission something similar please get in touch. Ready to ship within 7 days. Show more
