North-South Charoite Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Ring

This one-of-a-kind ring features a fancy-shaped purple charoite set in hand-forged sterling silver, built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. Positioned in a north-south orientation, the stone's rich violet tones and natural swirling patterns become the focal point of the design. Framed in a straight bezel and formed through disciplined bench work, this piece reflects the enduring beauty and strength of heirloom quality silver.

Form & Proportion

The elongated north-south orientation creates a graceful vertical profile across the hand, emphasizing the unique shape of the charoite. A clean single shank provides a balanced foundation beneath the setting, allowing the stone's natural color and pattern to remain the primary visual focus. The proportions are intentional—refined, comfortable, and designed for lasting wear.

Materials & Method

Forged from solid sterling silver, the ring is shaped and refined entirely within the studio. The straight bezel is carefully formed to follow the contours of the charoite, creating a secure setting with clean architectural lines. Every element is built through traditional silversmithing techniques, resulting in hand-forged sterling silver jewelry designed for durability and long-term wear.
