The Ardens Ring

A glow in the dark.

I sculpted the Ardens to be a substantial, stone-set anchor. In Latin, ardens speaks to a fire that refuses to be extinguished, a inner resilience that is as sturdy as it is bright.

Hand-sculpted in solid .999 fine silver, this piece is designed for anyone who wants to feel the grounding weight of their jewelry. The thick, organic signet band cradles a custom square princess cut yellow ice cubic zirconia, creating a modern artifact that feels both ancient and enduring.

Product Details:

•  Stone: Signature asscher iceflower cut fancy yellow cubic zirconia (custom stone options available upon request)
•  Metal: Solid .999 Fine Silver
•  Finish: High-shine mirror polish
•  Fit & Sizing: Hand-sculpted band built for comfort. Because this signet design features a substantial, top-heavy focal stone and face, it can sit slightly looser than standard flat bands. I recommend sizing down a half size for the most secure fit. Please note that minor sizing variations may occur due to natural clay shrinkage during firing.

Note from the Artist: Each piece is 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.
