Silver and Ruby hammered stacking ring

This handmade silver ring features a bright and dainty ruby set on a lightly hammered silver band. Its clean, contemporary look makes it perfect for everyday wear, while the vivid ruby adds a touch of elegance flanked by 2 silver granulations.

This ring is part of my 52 Ring Project, a personal challenge born out of a long-overdue discovery. Late last year, I finally unpacked two boxes of gemstones that had been sitting in a tangled, chaotic mess since we moved to Dorset nearly three years ago. Some of these gems have been with me for over fifteen years — tiny treasures, forgotten but too beautiful to be left hidden.

After an evening of blissful organization (gem nerd heaven!), I sorted each stone by type, size, and colour. But instead of letting them gather dust again, I set myself a challenge: to create 52 rings, one for each week of the year, each featuring a different gemstone from my collection.

This ruby ring is the first of that journey — a reminder that even the smallest of treasures deserve to shine. The ruby is 2.5mm across and the ring can be adjusted to any size.
