This howlite stone is hand set in fine silver with an 8 gauge, 925 sterling silver patterned band. Howlite is a stone of awareness. It can prepare the user or wearer to receive wisdom and attunement from the Higher Self and the Divine. So if you're into that kind of stuff, this ring is for you! Made with 925 sterling silver, this ring is hand fabricated from start to finish. Each element of this ring has been hand cut, filed, soldered, assembled, and polished by me. I source all of my gem stones from within the USA directly from the lapidary artists who create them. I travel to Tucson, Arizona every year to pick out the perfect stones for my creations. Just know that you are getting a real piece of hand crafted jewelry. This item is made to order so please be sure to select your size in the drop down box.
