This Ring Stack is inspired by Andromeda, Princess and wife of Perseus, and one of the most beautiful women in Greek Mythology. It is comprised of three rings, crafted by hand with high-grade semi-precious stones, fine silver and sterling silver. These gems have been meticulously chosen and researched based on their history, connection to each other, and the metaphysical properties each stone has been said to hold both in the present day and in cultures throughout history.
The Andromeda Ring Stack features a 3mm Moonstone on a 1.4mm ring band, a 5mm Rose Quartz on a 2.5mm twisted band, and a 5mm Lavender Jade on a 1.4mm ring band. To order, simply select your ring size from the drop-down menu, and I will then create a ring stack especially for you. Like all my work, these rings are made entirely by hand, using recycled silver, environmentally friendly methods and cruelty-free materials. Each ring can either be stacked together or worn separately, making them the perfect little family to adorn your fingers and bring beauty into your life.
🤍 Moonstone from Sri Lanka: For physical health and beauty, feminine energy. Also for being able to appreciate the beauty around us, and allow others to appreciate our existing beauty.
💗 Rose Quartz from Madagascar: For self-love and confidence, increased energy, renewal and healing.
💜 Lavender Jade from Bursa, Turkey: For clearing negative energy from the body, and for physical health and beauty.
★ Please Note: As these stacks are made to order, they take approximately 3 business days to create. The completed rings in the photos are a guide as to how each piece will look, but as each stone is natural, each finished stacking set will be unique and made especially for you. If you'd like to see examples of the variations in colour or patterns of each gemstone, you can peruse the other stacking rings I have on my website, or watch my Instagram stories, where I share videos of completed pieces daily before posting them out to their forever homes.
✨ The Legend of Andromeda:
Andromeda was a Princess in Greek Mythology, the wife of Perseus, and was considered to be one of the most beautiful women in Ancient Greece. She was born the daughter of the King of Aethiopia, Cepheus, and his wife, Queen Cassiopeia. Andromeda grew into an exceptionally beautiful young woman, and this was something her mother was very proud of. Queen Cassiopeia boasted that her daughter was even more stunning to look upon then Nereids, who were the sea nymphs or water spirits. Poseidon, in his rage at hearing the news, sent the sea monster Cetus (also sometimes referred to as Ketos) to ravage the coast of Aethiopia as divine punishment. It was foretold that the only way to appease this monster was for Andromeda to be offered to him as a sacrifice. Andromeda was chained naked to a rock above the ocean, left to her fate.
It was at this moment that Perseus, demi-god son of Zeus, was returning from his slaying of Medusa. Flying on winged sandals gifted to him by the Goddess Athena, Perseus saw Andromeda chained and was immediately captivated by her beauty. It was said that he fell in love with her instantly, so much so that his winged sandals forgot to wave, and he almost fell from the sky. After reaching Andromeda and hearing her story, Perseus asked King Cepheus for his daughter's hand in marriage in return for his slaying of the sea monster Cetus. Cepheus agreed, and Pereus used the head of Medusa he had carried back with him to turn the monster to stone and save Andromeda. Perseus and Andromeda were wed and returned to Greece to rule as King and Queen. They lived a life together filled with beauty, joy and many adventures, overseeing their Kingdom side by side. After their deaths, the Goddess Athena honoured Andromeda by immortalising her as a constellation in the sky, also doing the same for her husband and parents, so she could be together with those she loved in the heavens for eternity.
