Cloudless Sky Ring – Swarovski crystal, Bali silver, and sterling silver

2010 July 7

Cloudless Sky Ring - Swarovski crystal, Bali silver, and sterling silver

Description:

Clear as a day
When the skyline
Cannot be found
Beyond the cloudless
Sky

Different from the Swarovski crystals that I normally use, this one has no shiny finish, which creates the effect of blue milk poured into the shape of a cube. Beautifully translucent, and accented by delicate Bali silver beads, this ring will quickly become a favorite.

Hand-wrapped with sterling silver wire and love. Cubic Swarovski crystal measures 6 mm across.

I can make this ring in almost any size.

Please indicate what size you would like this ring to be at time of purchase under "Message to Seller," or simply click on "Contact PianoBenchDesigns" and let me know what size you would prefer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Swarovski crystal is set flush with the ring, but may loosen over time. The ones that I wear often have a bit of wiggle room, but the stone will not turn freely.
