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.

I’ve always been fascinated by the Viking Age and the power of the written word in ancient cultures. Aside from serving as letters, ancient runes were symbols believed to carry magical properties, carved into weapons, stones, and personal items for protection and meaning.
This ring features runes from the Younger Futhark alphabet, the runic system used during the height of the Viking Age. Each band is hand-engraved with your chosen word or phrase, translated into authentic Old Norse runes that would have been recognisable to warriors and traders over a thousand years ago.
The faceted band design creates dramatic shadows that emphasise each carved rune, whilst the 940 Argentium Silver ensures the piece will last as long as the ancient stones these symbols were originally carved into.
Customisation:
Choose your word or phrase and I’ll translate it into Younger Futhark runes. If you’d prefer a different runic alphabet like Elder Futhark or Anglo-Saxon, just let me know in the order notes.
Band Options:
Faceted (as shown)
Rounded
Straight
Leave your customisation details in the order notes, or email me directly at [email protected]
Handcrafted in 940 Argentium Silver with my 99-year warranty. Allow 3-4 weeks for completion.
Let the ancient symbols carry your story forward.

Sianna Lloyd –
I’m over the moon with the pieces I’ve received from Mason! Each piece is uniquely individual and grounded in strong ethical practices. The rune band specifically is rugged and looks like it’ll last a lifetime. I recommend Urban Sterling onto all of my friends, and encourage anyone seeking a gorgeous gift for themselves or a loved one to look no further.
Wayne King –
Such beautiful craftsmanship from an incredibly eco-friendly company that prioritises sustainability and excellence. Urban Sterling offers some of the most stunning handcrafted rings, aesthetics and quality-wise and all for a very reasonable price. I could write a whole essay on how happy I was with my purchase, but to put it simply if you’re looking to buy a gift for a family member, close friend or significant other, then Urban Sterling is your best choice!
