Sól Ring
Sól Ring
The Sól Ring - named after the Norse Goddess of the Sun. Delicate, hand-engraved sunrays surround a spectacular natural sapphire in the hue of your choice. Shown here with an exceptional, all natural, untreated padparadscha sapphire, ethically mined from the ancient gem district of Radnapura, Sri Lanka - where sapphires have been sustainably mined for over 2000 years.
Each Sól ring is handcrafted using ancient gold-smithing techniques in a timeless design. The stone setting is nestled within the ring band for a lower profile, making this ring suitable for those with an active lifestyle who prefer a solid build for a ring they can wear all the time. The ring band is a luxurious 5mm wide in the front, tapering to approximately 2.5mm at the back; for maximum comfort. Handcrafted using SCS certified recycled 14 karat gold.

The inspiration: Sól is the ancient Goddess of the Sun, and also the old Norse word meaning sun. Sól has been worshipped throughout Scandinavia for millennia, revered as the Shining God & the Bright Bride of Heaven. Her worship also extends to Germany where she was called Sunna, and throughout Celtic paganism where she was called Sulis, and in Baltic Europe where she was known as Saulė. Sunday is named after her.
In many cultures the sun is symbolic of the divine spark; as the source of all life on earth. A reminder of the great wheel of life, the cycles of creation and destruction; beginnings and endings; rebirth and renewal.
