Sand Cast Green Tourmaline Ring
£245.00
Hand made Sterling silver ring with green Tourmaline. This piece has a harmonious balance between the rustic texture of the silver and the delicacy of the gemstone, offering a unique alternative to the traditional polished engagement ring.
To create this piece we employ the ancient method of sand casting, where molten Sterling silver is poured in a sand mold. Each mold is carefully prepared to yield a ring in the precise size needed for each customer and the texture is added by hand with a very small tool before pouring the metal. The whole process is unique to each ring, and therefore the result is a one of a kind piece that cannot be exactly replicated.
We also offer this ring in 10 other styles.
Tourmaline
Tourmaline is a multi-coloured variety of the mineral silicate. Most commonly tourmaline is found in colours in a spectrum between pink and green, where certain crystals are bi- and tri-coloured.
It was early discovered that tourmaline had magnetic properties, where the stone would attract small charged particles, and it has been suggested that the stone has an internal vibration, which is supposed to be strong enough for very sensitive individuals to feel it. Because of these properties it was believed that tourmaline would have a warming and protecting effect on the wearer.
Tourmaline was believed to give good fortune, and green tourmaline was supposed to have been especially beneficial for people in business and can help make friends of strangers. Pink tourmaline on the other hand has been considered beneficial for social interactions and in order to attract friends. The gemstone is also supposed to give courage and cheerfulness to the wearer.
Tourmaline is the the birthstone of October and the zodiacal birthstone of Virgo.
Historically worn for: protection, good fortune and social interactions.
Every piece we create is entirely hand made to order in our workshop in Oslo, Norway. We do not have any ready to ship products and only begin working on a piece once your order comes through. When you purchase a ring, a pendant, or any other piece from us it will always slightly differ from the one photographed. This is a natural part of the process of hand making and it adds character and uniqueness to your jewelry.
Since the very beginning of Maru Jewelry we have tried maintaining a minimal and organic feel in our designs and continue to draw inspiration from all around us. Our designs are inspired in the beautiful diversity of natural landscapes, the abundance of shapes, textures and colors found in the vast wilderness of Norway. Some of our pieces are particularly rough, emulating the resilience of the flora that manage to survive the harsh Norwegian winters. These pieces tend to be weighty and oxidized, are typically cast in sand in a centuries-old technique, and are made to feel and look like ancient treasures.
We take pride in our production process, featuring only ethically-sourced stones purchased from certified distributors, and using the most natural materials available on the market. We substitute all animal-derived products typically used in jewelry making such as beeswax, leather hammers and aprons, with vegan alternatives, and we try to further minimize our impact on the environment by only using renewable energy to power our tools.
Please contact us for any custom requests or enquiries, as we all always happy to assist our customers and to collaborate.
