And Now for Something Completely Different: Weird and Wonderful Handmade Silver Rings
When we think of handmade silver rings, we tend to think of something serious, valuable, long-lasting, and well-crafted. Well, all of those adjectives are fitting any time silver is involved. But we beg to differ about the "serious" part. Not every handmade silver ring is a staid circlet of sterling silver engraved with a monogram, affixed with a gemstone, or filigreed in an intricate design. Oodles of unusual rings abound, and they can be used to express or reflect things not normally associated with handmade silver rings. Here are just a few examples:
A handmade silver ring to calm your anxiety: If you're a nervous type, a worrier, you might want to look into the handmade silver ring known as the "spinner ring". Like the Middle Eastern "worry beads" meant to be rolled back and forth by the fingers, this handmade silver ring, also known as an "anxiety ring", is meant to occupy the hands and defuse tension.
It is made of an outer circle that can be spun around the base, inner ring. Further, this handmade silver ring is sometimes seen as a "prayer ring", with each spin of the outer circlet constituting a prayer, and thereby functioning just like a Tibetan prayer wheel, or the beads on a Christian rosary or Buddhist or Hindu mala. In recent years, spinner rings have become popular as wedding bands – one might want to contemplate the amount of anxiety involved here. In any case, this type of handmade silver ring comes in a multitude of designs.
A handmade silver ring expressing love and friendship: A handmade silver ring, with or without a gemstone, makes for an excellent engagement ring. Among the handmade silver rings without a gemstone that suit this purpose are the interlocking or interwoven handmade silver ring whose two "halves" are meant worn by the two members of a couple but which, when joined, form one ring.
A similar effect can be achieved with two handmade silver rings, each of which is meant to be worn by one half of the couple, and each of which represents one half of a "pair": a nut and a bolt, the "male" and "female" halves of a computer or electrical hookup, and the like. A truly unique engagement ring can be made by imprinting a handmade silver ring with your beloved's fingerprint! But one needn't be getting married to buy a handmade silver ring: a long-lasting, high-quality handmade silver ring also makes an excellent token of friendship.
A handmade silver ring that's exotic: One category of handmade silver ring isn't exactly – or only – a ring at all. This includes the adornments known as "slave bracelets", which consist of a handmade silver ring, usually worn on the middle finger, which is connected by chain to a silver bracelet. Also known as "handflower" jewellery, these rings are based on the manacles of Roman slaves.
Today, they are worn by belly dancers, Goth fashionistas, and others. But one needn't have a Middle Eastern hobby or an unusual predilection to wear this type of silver jewellery: an elegant variation of this type of handmade silver ring is worn by Indian brides on their wedding day.
