Oak, Ash & Thorn Trinity Knot Silver Ring with Rainbow Moonstone

Pure silver (99.9%) is too soft and malleable for jewelry — it bends, scratches, and loses its shape quickly. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper, which gives it the strength and durability needed for everyday wear while preserving silver's beautiful luster.

The "925" stamp is the internationally recognized hallmark for sterling silver, confirming the piece contains 92.5% pure silver. This standard dates back to 12th-century England and guarantees you are receiving genuine sterling silver.

Sterling silver can develop a natural patina when exposed to air and moisture, but this is easily removed with a soft polishing cloth. Store your piece in an airtight pouch when not wearing it, and avoid contact with perfume, chlorine, and harsh chemicals. Wearing it regularly actually helps — the natural oils in your skin slow tarnishing.

High-quality sterling silver alloyed with copper (as ours is) is generally safe for sensitive skin. True allergic reactions to silver and copper are very rare. With proper care, sterling silver jewelry can last for generations and be passed down as a cherished heirloom.

The Trinity Knot (triquetra) is an ancient Celtic symbol formed by three interlocking arcs with no beginning and no end. The Celts revered the number three, and the knot represented the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, as well as land, sea, and sky. Early Irish monks later adopted it to represent the Holy Trinity — it appears prominently in the 8th-century Book of Kells.

Rainbow moonstone is a variety of labradorite in the feldspar family, prized for its adularescence — a billowing, floating glow of blue, green, and violet light caused by light diffracting through its internal layers. It has long been associated with intuition, feminine energy, and the cycles of the moon.
