A little extra care can keep your rings looking and feeling their best.

Avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach remove jewelry when showering, deep
cleaning, going in the hot tub, pool etc. to avoid buildup.

We have a lot of hardened metals in our world today that can scratch and
ding precious metals like silver & gold. Avoid things with metal
handles like garden tools. The serrated metal of gym equipment and free
weights are the worst it is best to leave your jewelry at home when
going to the gym doing yard work etc.

Gemstones vary in their hardness and durability. Softer gems require more care.

Example of softer gems - pearls, moonstone, quartz.

Example of harder gems - sapphire and diamonds.

You can research the Mohs scale for more information.

For at home cleanings I recommend using a soft tooth brush and some warm
soapy water. I recommend a mild and natural soap like a Dr. Bronners or
a Mrs. Meyers. If your ring has stones you want to be sure to clean
behind them as well to help them stay extra sparkly.

If you have a high shine silver ring that you want to stay as shiny as
possible store it in an air tight container when not wearing it to avoid
oxidization.

This ring was inspired firstly by Drawlloween 2022 and todays (10/12) prompt of Game of Bones. When deciding what to make for this prompt I was inspired by the famous Lovers of Valdaro grave of a man and a woman who died in each others arms in Italy approximately 6,000 years ago. They were uncovered in 2007 there is something extremely romantic to me about their fate and their final embrace. The ring is also a bit of nod to the tradition Claddagh rings with a crowned heart and the heart being held by hands. And lastly I have lately been researching Victorian jewelry quite extensively and have fallen in love with the Fede rings which are generally 2 clasped hands representing a token of loyalty or faith between two people.

This ring has a heart shaped center with my version of the embracing skeletons. Above the heart is gold crown and 2 hands are holding the heart and crown.
Your ring will be made in your choice of 14k yellow gold, 14k rose gold, 14k palladium white gold or oxidized and polished sterling silver.

The top of the ring is 19mm's wide and the band is about 2.75mm's wide at the back.
