For generations, silver rings have been worn as a talisman. Some silver rings bore a seal, which the wearer impressed upon colored wax to seal letters or official documents. Other silver rings bore a secret compartment, in which the wearer could conceal poison (more than one novel’s plot has been thickened by the powder poured from such a silver ring).
During the Victorian Age, gold and silver rings were the settings for cameos carved from ivory that was brought back from colonial expeditions to Africa. Magnolia’s rings only share one thing with these rings of old: silver. All of Magnolia’s silver rings are hand-crafted, according to original designs, in high-quality, 925 sterling silver. Nevertheless, we think a silver ring from Magnolia can still serve as a talisman or “charm”, conferring on the wearer the properties of the gemstone inlaid within it. Here are some suggestions.
A silver ring that will evoke courage: The garnet is well-known to inspire confidence – to the extent of promoting success in business. This it does by reducing stress, depression and fear, clearing the way for self-esteem. A silver ring inlaid with a garnet is therefore an excellent talisman for the woman who needs an extra jolt of confidence.
A silver ring that will evoke creativity: The lovely agate, found in an array of colors, is known to inspire creativity and imagination. The woman needing inspiration is therefore encouraged to choose a silver ring adorned with an agate – of any size, shape and color she chooses.
A silver ring that will evoke tranquility: The amethyst, with its lovely, translucent violet hue, evokes tranquility and calm. Inlaid in a silver ring, it will bring stability to all who wear it. Because of these properties, the amethyst is also known to promote spiritual development.
A silver ring that will evoke clarity of mind: The turquoise is renowned for imbuing its wearer with clarity of mind and precision of thought. This beautiful blue gemstone – a perfect complement to any silver ring – will foster communication and improve negotiations.
