My new Handcrafted Sterling Silver and Kyanite ring
Recently I have acquired a few beautiful Kyanite cabochons, with non standard sizes. I left everything I was doing and handcrafted a new sterling silver ring design with the stone. The ring design is handmade with a round smooth band and a bezel soldered on it , nicely finished in which I set the stone.
About Kyanite:
The name KYANITE comes from the word in Greek kuanos or "kyanos". which means deep blue.
It is a blue silicate. It is a metamrphic mineral.
In Nature it looks like a bladed crystal but sometimes it can be found as masses of crystals. Many times it is associated with other metamorphic minerals , for example: the garnet.
The mineral was called in the past DISTHENE meaning "two strengths".
