I'm unsure of my ring size...
If you are unsure of your ring size I definitely recommend getting an accurate measurement before ordering your ring.
I offer RING SIZERS for purchase or alternatively most high street jewellers will be able to measure your size.
There are a number of different sizing types used in different countries. I use UK sizing so have a look at the CONVERSION CHART if you need to convert.
Custom Orders
If you would like to have something custom made, feel free to contact me at spiralroads.ross@gmail.com and I will be happy to discuss your ideas
Is everything made by you?
Yes! Hand making all of my designs myself is important to me as I believe that a hand crafted item has more value and more soul.
I don't use premade bezel cups or ring shanks and I often begin a piece right from melting down the silver myself.
The few exceptions are the silver chains, the backs of the earring studs and I don't cut my own gemstones.
Is this real silver?
All of my silver pieces are made with solid silver. I am registered with Sheffield Assay Office but I usually only hallmark pieces that exceed the legal redemption weight in order to keep costs and production times down. Please contact me if you would like your piece Hallmarked
Environmental impact
Most of my giftboxes are FSC approved and most of the silver is recycled eco silver.
I am working towards making more changes to help protect the environment and reduce my impact on the planet.
Jewellery Care Advice
I strongly advise against wearing your jewellery while bathing, sleeping or during sports activities.
Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions and soaps - apply these before putting your jewellery on
Many stones such as Pealrs and Opals are especially vulnerable to acids and even perspiration.
You can use your Spiral Roads box to store your jewellery safely
Silver and copper will naturally tarnish over time. You can polish your piece with a polishing cloth if you like or even better just wear it a lot! - the metal tarnishes less when frequently worn due to contact with clothing etc.
The macrame is made with a durable polyester thread and can be cleaned with a little water and a toothbrush if necessary
