Not sure of your ring size? Measure the inside diameter of a ring you already wear, use an inexpensive plastic ring sizer, or message us before we cast — we’ll help you get it right.
Images and the turntable video are AI-generated renders of the design, not photographs of your cast piece — which is made to order in solid 925 sterling silver to this same design.
Some things are kept, not worn. A marquise of black onyx sits deep in a cage of oxidized silver — clawed, spiked, and ringed in fine pavé, like a relic set behind cathedral glass. The band is scrolled with Victorian filigree that catches shadow in every groove.
A true statement ring for the one who dresses in dusk. Solid 925 sterling silver, hand-oxidized, made to order in your size.

Why you can trust it
- Solid 925 sterling silver. Stamped 925 — the real metal, not a coating.
- Any detail of this piece can change. The stone, its colour and cut, the metal finish, the size, the engraving, the proportions — because it is cast after you order, nothing here is fixed. Ask for the changes you want before you buy. Change enough and it stops being this design and becomes yours, at no extra cost beyond what the new piece takes to make.
- Every stone is named — natural when it is natural, lab-created when it is lab-created. The black onyx is a genuine natural stone; the set accent stones are lab-created. Its black is a permanent dye, which is how virtually all black onyx is made — we say so rather than let you assume.
- No plated base metal. Solid sterling all the way through — not silver-coloured brass.
- We tell you how it ages. The dark is an oxidized patina, not a coating — only microns thick. Worn every day it wears brighter along the raised edges while the recesses stay black. That is how oxidized silver ages, and it is not a fault.
- Made to order, and protected. Free US shipping, thirty-day returns, and Etsy buyer protection on every order.
- Wearing it on Halloween? Order by October 5 — it is cast after you order, so that is the last day the making and the post office both fit. Intricate casts take longer; ask us first.
Wearing it
Reliquary is the ring people notice, so give it room — the marquise spans the finger, and it wears well on a middle or index finger, sized snug so the tall setting stays upright. It reads formal against a dark cuff and stranger against bare skin. The recesses are meant to stay dark; the pavé does the flashing.
