Lyra Ring

What began as a special custom order quickly captured hearts after sharing its creation on Instagram. Due to so much love and interest, I am officially bringing this design into the permanent lineup.

I chose the name Lyra, after the constellation representing the harp of classical myth. It symbolizes harmony, creative expression and eternal light of the stars. To remind you to find harmony amidst the chaos.

Hand-sculpted in solid fine silver, the original Lyra Ring features a smooth, substantial band anchor centered around a brilliant 6x8mm Paraiba green tourmaline nano gem. I also wanted to make this one available in stunning lab alexandrite in the same size and cut. The stone is just so magical in person and look amazing next to the stars.

Surrounding the stone are delicate hand-engraved starbursts designed to coordinate seamlessly with both the Lumina pendants and Starry Night spacers.

Details:

•  Metal: Solid .999 Fine Silver
•  Stone Size: 6x8mm East-West setting  
•  Finish: High-shine mirror polish
•  Accent Details: Hand-engraved starbursts flanking the bezel  
• Weight: Approximately 9g depending on size

Stone Options:

•  Paraiba Green Tourmaline (Nano Gem): A glowing, vivid sea-green hue.  
•  Lab Alexandrite: A dramatic color-changing stone shifting from teal-green in daylight to rich purple in warm indoor light.

Customization:

• Looking for a different shade or birthstone? The Lyra Ring can be customized with other stone colors upon request. Please send a message prior to ordering if you have a specific gemstone in mind!

•  Fit & Sizing: Hand-sculpted band built for comfort. If you’re choosing a his for a pinky ring I recommend sizing down a half size to a full size for the most secure and comfortable fit. Please note that minor sizing variations may occur due to natural clay shrinkage during firing.

Note from the Artist: Each piece is custom hand sculpted and fired to order in my Connecticut studio. Please allow 2-3 weeks for your piece to be crafted, polished, and shipped.

A Note on Fine Silver

This piece is handcrafted from .999 pure fine silver, the purest form of silver available. Unlike most silver jewelry you may own, it is not rhodium plated or coated in any way. You are wearing solid, elemental metal exactly as it is.

Fine silver is an elemental metal. It may tarnish, develop a patina, or react to your environment at a rate that differs from plated or sterling silver pieces. Factors such as skin chemistry, humidity, lotions, soaps, and airborne compounds all influence how the metal responds. This is a natural characteristic of pure silver, not a defect.

Tarnish is easily removed at home using a polishing cloth, a baking soda paste, or a silver cleaning cream. Full care instructions are available here.

If you are unfamiliar with the properties of .999 fine silver, please take a moment to research the material before purchasing to confirm it is the right fit for you. By completing your purchase, you acknowledge that you understand these natural characteristics. Because each piece is made to order, please note that natural tarnishing and surface changes are not considered defects and are not covered under the custom order return policy.
