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.

I offer change of mind returns for store credit. If your piece has any quirks you think shouldn’t be there, let me know and send me a some photos. If it looks like a workmanship problem I’ll issue an immediate full refund or replacement upon return postage.
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 $70 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.

Providence (noun): the protective care of God or of nature as a spiritual power.
The final piece of the Abyssal Chapter. Heavy use of negative space provides contrast between the two elements on the front of the piece. On the sides of the ring, each element is deconstructed into its constituent parts. Metal shards for the sword and leaves for the sapling. Inside the shank the name of the piece is engraved, as well as the 940 Argentium silver hallmark and the USCo. signature.
This piece tells the story of a simple human creation returning to the earth, shattered and broken. The transition between human-made sword and sapling reflects on the transitory nature of human existence in contrast to the unyielding permanence of our natural environment and the greater universe.
We owe our existence to the Earth, a divine sanctuary for humanity. But to the Earth, our lifespan is a mere second and our lives are meaningless. Inevitably, even the most sturdy and powerful of human creations decay and cease to exist. When you see this ring on your hand, try to reflect on the human condition and recognise that your time here is short; make the most of it.
Expect your Providence to arrive within 1-2 weeks after placing your order, crafted in superior quality 940 Argentium Silver.
