Lapis Lazuli Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Braided Shank Ring

This collection of rings features elongated oval lapis lazuli set in hand-forged sterling silver, built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. Each deep blue stone is framed in a scalloped bezel and paired with a delicate braided shank, creating a balanced composition that highlights both stone and metal. Formed at the bench through disciplined tool work, these rings reflect the clarity and enduring presence of heirloom quality silver.

Form & Proportion

The elongated oval lapis creates a strong vertical profile that sits elegantly on the hand. The braided shank introduces texture and dimension while maintaining a refined, lightweight feel. The proportions are intentional—substantial enough to showcase the richness of the lapis while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.

Materials & Method

Forged from solid sterling silver, each ring is shaped and refined entirely within the studio. The scalloped bezel is carefully formed to follow the contours of the stone, while the braided shank is crafted to create subtle visual depth and texture. The result is hand-forged sterling silver jewelry built for durability, comfort, and long-term wear.
