What is Argentium Silver
Argentium Silver is essentially a modern, upgraded version of sterling silver, which was “invented” in the 1300s by King Edward the first. Although the history behind this alloy is rich and fascinating, in my experience sterling silver leaves something to be desired in terms of appearance and durability. More info on the properties of Argentium Silver here.
Will your rings turn my finger green?
No they won’t. This occurs when rings are made of low quality materials and plated to look like silver. Copper, for example, will produce the green finger effect. Argentium silver is the highest quality silver alloy available, so it won’t have this effect.
Sustainable Metal Sourcing:
I use Argentium silver, a 100% sustainably sourced and recycled metal produced by the Argentium Company, ensuring ethical and environmentally friendly practices.
Certified Suppliers:
Palloys, the only Australian casting company certified by LBMA, OECD, and World Gold Council, supplies metals that comply with strict ethical standards, including the RJC certification for responsible jewelry practices.
Australian Labor and Manufacturing:
I use exclusively Australian labor and manufacturing for all aspects of production, maintaining slavery-free supply chains and supporting the local economy, with the exception of FSC-certified packaging from Denmark.

Bought the wrong size? The course of action depends on whether the ring is too small or too large. If it's too small, just send it back and I'll size it up for free. If it's too large, I'll have to charge you a $60 resizing fee, since I'll need to cut the ring open, remove metal, and solder it back together. This is fairly time consuming, hence the fee.

This ring is the perfect fit for an adventurous visionary drawn to the thrill of new experiences, but prone to occasional recklessness.
The Fall of Icarus is a vertical rectangle signet ring engraved with a depiction of Icarus’s fall from ancient Greek mythology. The piece is crafted in such a way that it works as a canvas for precise and detailed engraving. On the inside of the ring, the name of the piece is engraved, along with a depiction of two hands reaching out for each other. The face of the ring is pretty thin, so it won’t be too noticeable on your finger despite the size.
The myth of Icarus’s Fall is an ancient story, written to serve as a warning on the dangers of hubris. Key elements of the story are reflected in the design of the piece, including the sun, ocean, olive branches, and Icarus himself.
The story is as follows: Icarus’ father, Daedalus, crafts them wings made of feathers and wax, so that they may both fly away and escape the island of Crete, where they are held captive by King Midas.
Before they take flight, Daedalus tells his son “Let me warn you, Icarus, to take the middle way, in case the moisture weighs down your wings, if you fly too low, or if you go too high, the sun scorches them. Travel between the extremes.” However, Icarus is so awestruck by being able to fly that he does not heed his father’s advice. He flies too high, and the sun melts the wax holding together his wings, causing him to fall to his death.
Let this piece serve as a reminder to always stay vigilant, especially in new situations, and never let power go to your head.
The Fall of Icarus is forged from 940 Argentium using techniques dating back over 6,000 years. Each piece is made to order and handcrafted by me. The ring comes with a certificate of authenticity in a wax-sealed envelope so you know it’s the real deal.
Expect your Fall of Icarus to arrive within 1-2 weeks after placing your order, crafted in superior quality 940 Argentium Silver.

Sick bloke, down to earth and the quality of the ring was amazing.
Ben Hume –
Absolutely incredible work and craftsmanship. I first originally bought “The Fall of Icarus” ring and fell in love with it and then the released updated version. Never been so happy with a piece of jewellery before.
