PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Unleash your wild side with this striking, one-of-a-kind silver leopard statement ring. Hand-carved in sterling silver, this unique ring features a meticulously detailed leopard head, symbolising strength and grace. The leopard’s piercing gaze is brought to life with a rich mulberry spinel gemstone, artfully set to form half of its face. Adding a touch of colour, the band is adorned with a brilliant array of sapphires, each one carefully chosen to complement the deep hues of the spinel. Perfect for those who dare to stand out, this ring is not just jewellery—it's a work of art.
THE STORY BEHIND THE DESIGN
This ring draws its inspiration from the majestic Chui, the Swahili name for leopard, a creature revered for its nobility, courage, and honour. The Chui embodies wisdom and strength, qualities we can all aspire to embrace in our own lives. Through this piece, the spirit of the leopard lives on, reminding us to carry these values with grace and dignity.

- Measure the internal diameter of the ring in millimetres (mm) - the inside diametre should not include the ring itself, just the space inside the ring.

USEFUL INFORMATION

MATERIALS
I pride myself on crafting pieces that will endure the rigours of daily life while exuding elegance and style. My commitment to using only the highest quality metals helps to ensure that each creation is a perfect companion for your everyday adventures.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other alloys and is a durable and lightweight alloy expertly crafted to withstand the test of time, making it ideal for daily wear. Sterling Silver embodies timeless sophistication with its classic silvery cool tones.
I use 925 certified sterling silver, guaranteeing its authenticity and premium quality.
9ct Gold
9ct gold is a widely used alloy in jewellery and adds a touch of luxury. It contains 37.5% pure gold and 62.5% other metals like copper, silver, or zinc. The blend of metals provides strength and durability, perfect for everyday wear.
9ct gold has a softer yellow colour compared to higher-carat gold. Its hardness also makes it resistant to scratches and dents, ensuring the jewellery's longevity.
Please note: Individuals with metal allergies should be cautious, as the higher proportion of base metals may cause reactions.
Overall, 9ct gold strikes a balance between affordability, durability, and aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice for various jewellery designs.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a metal that can naturally tarnish and turn dull over time. To keep your sterling silver looking shiny, store your jewellery pieces away from moisture, harsh chemicals (including household chemicals), perfumes and lotions. It is recommended you remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing and hand washing.
One of the best ways to prevent sterling silver jewellery from tarnishing is by wearing it. Your skin's oils can help to keep the jewellery clean and maintain its brilliance.
Cleaning can also be done easily with a silver polishing cloth (I recommend a Sunshine Polishing Cloth), but avoid the cloth coming into contact with any gemstones and/or gold vermeil.
9ct Gold
9ct Gold can lose its shine. Keep it looking its best by storing your jewellery pieces away from moisture, harsh chemicals (including household chemicals), perfumes and lotions. It is recommended you remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing and hand washing.
You can easily clean your 9ct gold jewellery by soaking it in some lukewarm water and after a couple of minutes, scrubbing it gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
Gemstones
Skeleton Coast Jewellery takes pride in selecting natural gemstones and diamonds that are completely unique and one-of-a-kind. These stones may contain inclusions which do not signify a flaw within the stone, but rather the individuality of something that has been created by Earth many lifetimes ago.
It should be noted that gemstones and even diamonds can break if they aren’t handled with care. The pressure and angle of impact are the main contributing factors. Please contact me with any questions regarding gemstone and diamond care.
