News from the shop, including a monthly note of new arrivals.
This handsome mythologically inspired ring holds a large laboratory grown purple sapphire carved with the image of (we believe) Triton, the son of Neptune/Poseidon with the torso of a man and the tail of a fish. He's seen here reclining on sea foam and holding a trident. The sapphire is large and deep purple; at first glance it looks like a very fine amethyst.
Each of the ring's shoulders has a crescent moon with three stars in high relief and the north and west sides of its profile feature a carving reminiscent of the Greek key.

Wearing it with care
Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:
- We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
- You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
- Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.
