East-West Charoite Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Ring

This one-of-a-kind ring features a fancy-shaped purple charoite set east to west in hand-forged sterling silver, built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. The stone's rich violet tones and naturally flowing patterns are framed within a straight bezel, creating a clean, architectural presentation that emphasizes its unique shape. Formed at the bench through disciplined tool work, this ring reflects the enduring beauty and strength of heirloom quality silver.

Form & Proportion

The east-west orientation creates a broad, balanced profile across the finger, giving the ring a contemporary yet timeless presence. A simple sterling silver single shank provides a refined foundation beneath the setting, allowing the charoite to remain the focal point. The proportions are intentional—comfortable for everyday wear while showcasing the distinctive silhouette of the stone.

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 fancy-shaped charoite, creating a secure setting with clean lines. Every component is built through traditional bench techniques, resulting in hand-forged sterling silver jewelry designed for durability and long-term wear.
