Material: 100% sterling silverWeight: 5.2 grams Each spiral is more than 3/8 inch diameter (10mm) Size: Adjustable, from sizes 6-9 Item number: wh50 Description: It's hard to believe that something so geometrically perfect as a spiral could exist in nature, but it does – in the nautilus and other shells, for example. And astronomers have known since at least 1936 that many galaxies, including our own Milky Way, are spiral-shaped. There exist ancient artifacts that imply there's something about the spiral that is innate in humans. For example, a decorative object found in Ukraine and which dates back to 10,000 bc is of a spiral-like form. And the well-known Newgrange prehistoric monument in Ireland, which was built somewhere around 3200 bc includes rock with spirals carved into it. Today, the spiral is often interpreted as a double-edged symbol of an individual's journey both from an outer world of materialism and misconceptions to a realization of inner truth, and conversely from the egoistic inner-self outward to a universal consciousness. And don't forget the Yellow Brick Road.* Even though this is an adjustable ring, please be aware that sterling silver is not a material that can be bent very many times before it breaks. To avoid damage to your ring, adjust it to your finger just once so that it can be slipped on and off without bending it, like a fixed size ring. And do not lend it out to anyone else with a different finger size as this will result in even more bending.Our Mission: To be a place where Wiccans, Pagans, and others can find affordable, high-quality jewelry that will help them express themselves and their beliefs - and by doing so, help to expand awareness and acceptance of their communities. About Our Jewelry: We pride ourselves carrying only the most beautiful and compelling designs. We also design and manufacture some of our own pieces. 90% of the jewelry in our store is pure sterling silver, but because our aim is to offer as many affordable pieces as possible, we do carry a small number of pendants in safe, lead-free pewter, and lead-free metal alloys. When an item is not pure sterling silver, this is clearly listed in both the title and the description. How We Ship: We package your order in the safest and most eco-friendly way we can, that both protects your jewelry piece and is still a nice package to receive. Most sturdy pendants come in our custom jewelry pouch in a bubble envelope, while more delicate and three-dimensional items like earrings and rings come with the added protection of a shipping box. In either case, we make sure your jewelry is well-protected for shipping. We rush our orders to the Post Office every day (and sometimes twice a day, including Saturdays) and ship via First Class Mail, but we also offer Priority and Express Mail shipping options in case you need it faster. Our Guarantee: We want you to be happy with your order! If you are unhappy with your order for any reason, just let us know - we offer a full 30-day refund policy, no questions asked. Thank you again for visiting our store and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you, Norma & Ken (a.k.a. Woot & Hammy)
