Calypso Onyx Shell Ring

Inspired by the ocean, the Calypso Ring offers a black onyx with a sculpted shell design accented by shimmering marcasite. The smooth onyx centerpiece anchors the piece with mysterious depth, while the marcasite lends old-world brilliance, accentuating the sculpted lines of the shell. Together, they create a ring that evokes the movement of the sea: fluid, playful, and endlessly captivating. The shell’s curves bring a natural sense of whimsy, while the contrast of dark onyx and sparkling marcasite adds drama. Elegant yet spirited, the Calypso Ring celebrates the beauty of the ocean in a design that feels both artful and alive. A piece you can slip on daily, it brings a touch of charm to everything from casual moments to the ones you’ll always remember.

The spirit of the ocean, captured in a ring.

Sterling Silver Care Cleaning Instructions

We recommend polishing your Sterling Silver Jewelry every 2 to 3 months if it is frequently worn, and every 6 months if it is infrequently used, to prevent tarnish. 

Why does Sterling Silver Jewelry tarnish?

Sterling silver tarnishes because the copper added to strengthen the silver reacts with sulfur and moisture in the air, creating silver sulfide. The 7.5% copper in 925 sterling silver reacts with sulfur in the atmosphere to form a black or dark grey layer. This oxidation process is accelerated by exposure to chemicals (lotions, perfumes, bleach), humidity, perspiration, and, in some cases, chlorine.

How to keep the Shine

We highly recommend Wright’s by WEIMAN silver cream.  It is widely available at major national retailers, including Walmart, The Home Depot, Amazon, and several large grocery chains. It is typically sold in 8-oz jars and is frequently stocked in the cleaning or household aisles. Wright's Silver Cream is a highly effective, ammonia-free cleaner and polish that removes deep tarnish, restores shine, and leaves a protective, anti-tarnish coating on silver, jewelry, and metals. 

We suggest using a toothbrush when applying the cream to your sterling silver jewelry, and you will also need a professional polishing cloth to complete the process. The cloth has an inner layer (often white) treated with polishing compounds to remove tarnish, while the outer layer (often grey) is untreated for final polishing and buffing. The items needed are fairly inexpensive and will keep your jewelry beautiful, preserving the silver metal's brilliant luster for many years to come.
