Dear reader,

When I was a little kid,  my father gifted me a children’s book, By the Light of the Silvery Moon. It wasn’t as popular as Where the Wild Things Are was at the time, but it has a similar theme; a young child gets in trouble with her parents and escapes under the hedge outside her house into another world. Eventually she finds her way back home, to where she belongs, but she's forever changed. 

Lately I’ve been thinking about these stories and how there might not be a way back ‘home’ for some of us, those who have always felt like outsiders, slightly out of step with the frantic pace of the world and its horrors, more content to live on the edge of things, in our other worlds. Of course there is a melancholy to this; the possibility of being misunderstood, questioned, or even threatened in these increasingly intense times. Our homes are the ones we build ourselves, we choose our family, or exist in more solitary situations. 

This ring, featuring a two headed snake ( a personal symbol for me of "the other", the outsider ) nestles its two heads together above the end of it's tail. Tiny and tactile tears, reminiscent of our grief moths and grief snakes, are featured on either side of the ring for rubbing / touching in times of anxiety or meditation. 

Much like one of my oldest ring designs, The Belonging to the Darkness ring, this is a ring of laying claim to yourself, while also being designed to exist as a ceremonial band. Comfortable on the finger, it can easily be worn daily and features a rose cut round onyx cabochon.

*Details* :

- 25 mm from top to bottom

- 21 mm wide

- Sits 7 mm off of the finger

- Solid Sterling Silver  

- Hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath

- Set with one 12 mm rose cut onyx 

Onyx:

Onyx is best known for being a natural stone that acts as a kind of 'psychic armor' against the negativity of others. It is also used to soothe grief and heartbreak. It is a wonderful grounding stone and a stone of self mastery, enabling its wearers to have mental and spiritual focus.

This jewel is hand cut and therefore may have small signs of the carver's hands. As this has not been fabricated by a machine, it has been made by hand and therefore isn't uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stone.
