* Green Jade, Sterling silver Celtic Triskel ring
* Please read buy the entire description before ordering:

The Triskel, Triskele, or Triskelion is a design composed of 3 interlocking spirals or curved lines. In the Celtic, as well as several other cultures, it represents sets of threes important to Human existence. To the Celts those were first, the foundation of Celtic cosmology; land, sea, and sky.

It also represented the triple god, and the triple goddess - Maiden, Mother, and Crone.
Later with the advent of Christianity it represented the trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

The Triskel also represents:
body, mind, and spirit
past, present, and future
power, intellect, and love

This hand crafted sterling silver Triskel ring measures about 8.2 mm across the triskel, and is stamped STER for Sterling on the inside of the band. The shank measures 2 mm across by 1 mm thick at it's thinnest on the back. The last picture is for visual size and scale reference, so you can see exactly what size the ring is. It shows the silver ring without the stone next to a US dime coin and 1" on a ruler. The sterling silver I use to make my rings is alloyed using newly refined recycled silver. The only difference between recycled sterling silver and silver not identified as recycled is the source of the pure silver. Recycled silver has less impact on the environment than newly mined silver. Otherwise, it is exactly the same. I believe that if we all work together towards positive change, we can make the world a better, healthier place. That's why I use recycled where I can. The Navy blue jewelry box it will be sent in is also made with 100% recycled materials.

The handmade ring is pictured here with a Jade cabochon that measures about 8 mm x 6 mm, and weighs about 1.5 carats. This is natural earth mined Nephrite Jade from British Columbia, Canada. Other stones are available in different listings in my shop.

Rings are always stronger when the shank is cast to size as opposed to being cut and sized later. So rather than set this stone first, and then need to size the ring to fit your finger, I will cast your ring to size when you order it and then set the stone. The first 4 pictures show a green jade sitting in the ring but as you can see the prongs are not set. The next to last picture shows how the prongs look when the stone is set, but show a different stone. The stone in your ring will be from the same lot as the first 4 stones pictured, and of the same color and quality. I will have the ring ready to send within 3 to 5 business days. The ring pictured is a finger size 7.

PROPER FINGER SIZING:

There is no way to accurately guess or estimate the finger size you need for a ring to fit properly. The only way to obtain an accurate measurement is to use the METAL finger gauges used by jewelers. Go to a store that sells rings, and get the finger measured. They will be happy to do this for you. Finger size is totally unrelated to body size or shoe size. Using string or ribbon to measure the finger is not accurate. Printing a paper off the internet and wrapping it around your finger probably won't yield accurate results. You remember that she used to say she wore about a size 7 ring? It probably has changed or you remember wrong. Again, the only reliably accurate way is to use metal finger gauges graduated in 1/2 sizes, until you find the one that fits best. Also keep in mind that fingers are smaller when you are very cold, and larger when it is hot and humid. Receiving a new ring that is too large or small is quite disappointing. You will be far happier if you take the time to obtain an accurate size before ordering. I can re-size a ring for you when you order the wrong size. But you will be paying an additional $20.00 to $30.00 to have me re-size it and send it back to you; and then there is the time it will take (could be 2+ weeks). My return policy specifically prohibits a refund for ordering a ring custom made to a size that does not fit (you ordered the wrong size). Why not just measure the finger and get it ordered right the first time?

However, in this time of the Covid-19 Pandemic, a trip to a jewelry store to have your finger measured may be difficult and potentially dangerous. Thus, I am offering this MULTISIZER ring finger gauge to be sent to you with free shipping to an address in the USA. While not quite as accurate as metal finger gauges, if used properly this will give you a more accurate size than a string, or a ribbon, or a guess. You can purchase one with free shipping here:
