Permafrost is a continuously frozen layer of ground consisting of ice, rocks, and dirt. Dendritic opal felt like a natural choice to represent this crucial part of the frozen landscapes of our world. ❄

Black dendrites spread through the snowy opal, mimicking the rocks and soil patches scattering through the permafrost. The faceting of the stone adds a little extra flash. The ring band is stamped with tiny snowflakes. The silver has been oxidized, a process which creates the blackened or antiqued appearance on silver. All metal in this ring is sterling silver.

A few notes on caring for oxidized sterling silver: oxidized patina on sterling silver isn't particularly durable to long-term exposure to water (like bathing or swimming) or a lot of scrubbing, as friction is the way to polish silver to shine. Constant exposure to tasks such as hand washing, bathing, swimming, washing dishes, etc., will slowly wear away the oxidized patina leaving a shiny silver finish.
