Images 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.
A cathedral front raised on the hand. An oval black stone held in four claws, ringed in small red stones, with pointed arches and pierced tracery climbing each shoulder and tiny white stones at the finials. A song for the dead, worn in silver.
The grand ring in the register. Solid 925 sterling silver, hand-oxidized, made to order in your size.

Why you can trust it
- Solid 925 sterling silver. The real metal all the way through, 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 lab-created and named. No mystery stones, no natural-stone pricing games.
- 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 September 23 — 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
Threnody is a big ring and knows it. The head runs the width of the finger and the shoulders climb halfway to the knuckle, so wear it alone and let the other hand go bare. Black nails and a dark sleeve finish it; the red halo does the rest.
