December Statement Ring · Tanzanite
Each ring is handmade using raw, natural crystals. The beauty of this is that every piece will turn out perfectly unique. This design features a large natural Tanzanite crystal, the birthstone for December.
Refer to FAQ for processing times.
All Little Sycamore jewelry is lead & nickel free. These rings are formed in pure copper and plated in the thickest possible plating of rose gold. The plating is 3 microns thick, which is much thicker than typical plated jewelry.
The process: I start out with a handmade hammered band, which gives the ring a lot of pretty texture. I spend a lot of time arranging the stones onto the band, hand-picking the prettiest stones I want to use and finding the positioning that I think looks best with those stones. After finding the perfect design, I sand the mounting to get the shape that I want and carefully paint the ring with conductive paint. Using an electric current, metal deposits onto the ring and around the base of the stones for 12+ hours. This slow build up of metal creates a unique and organic looking setting that very securely holds the stones in place. The ring is tumbled, hand-polished, and plated in a very thick layer of gorgeous sterling silver. Long story short... a whole lot of time and love is put into this little beauty!

REGULAR PROCESSING TIMES
Here is the timeline you can expect for your pretty things to be sent your way!
CUSTOM ORDERS
Almost all of our custom designs are always available for purchase. If a custom design is sold out, it will restock the 1st day of every month at 10:00 am pacific time. Spots always fill up quickly, so it's a good idea to set a reminder in your phone calendar if you want one of these spots!
RING SIZING
We have a Ring Sizing Tool that will help you determine your size. For tips on how to size in a ring stack, I recommend watching my instagram highlight titled "sizing + info" Another option is to stop by a local jeweler, they're usually happy to tell you your ring size free of charge!
Rings cannot be resized due to the unique way they are formed. But if you purchased a standard non-custom design, I am happy to have you exchange it for another size.
Due to the variance in ring sizing tools you may be measuring with and due to variation in the handmade process, it is expected for ring sizes to vary by a quarter of a size.
JEWELRY CARE TIPS
How to clean my ring? For cleaning chains or the metal of your ring, you should use our Jewelry Polishing Cloths. If your jewelry is plated, then you don't want to be too hard with your scrubbing or with cleaning agents because you don't want to wear down the plating. If you have a solid silver ring though, you can rub as vigorously as you'd like haha because it can never wear down since it is solid silver through and through. For cleaning the stones, the best tool us warm water and a toothbrush- I know that is random but it gets in the little nooks really well!
What if the metal on my jewelry has darkened? Every now and then real metal can develop a patina. Not harmful at all, just something that happens with real metal sometimes when it comes in contact with certain minerals like sulfur or if it isn't worn for a long time (you should store your jewelry in an air tight place like a plastic baggie if it won't be worn for a long time). Simply wearing it for a week or two is often all that is needed to polish it bright again, or use your Jewelry Polishing Cloth!
What if my ring needs to be redipped? If your ring is one of the solid silver ones, it will never need to be redipped. Sometimes a gold or rose gold plated ring will need to be redipped down the road after lots of everyday use and I'm happy to do that for you! Email hello@littlesycamore.com for instructions.
Keep jewelry away from harsh chemicals like hand sanitizer and chlorine.
GIFT WRAPPING
Every order is packaged ready for gift giving! If you want us to include a written note for you, please request that in the notes during checkout.
NOT DONE HAVING BABIES, BUT WANT MOTHERS JEWELRY
You want some mothers jewelry but you aren't done having kids? I have some designs that are perfect for that! You can add birthstones later on to the Mothers Charm Necklace & the Mothers Drop Necklace. There are also Stackable Birthstone Rings for every month, and you can add to your stack whenever you have another babe!
MATERIALS
Only the highest quality materials are used. Real authentic gemstones. Raw and unpolished, which means they come straight from the earth looking this pretty! Please refer to listing description to see what metals are used. Only the highest quality metals are used- for the raw stone rings it can be solid sterling silver and left as is in silver or dipped in high quality 18k gold or rose gold. If you're hard on your rings I recommend going with solid silver for the raw stone rings so that you don't have to worry about wearing down plating over time. The solid rose/gold Minis are also an option that will never need any upkeep! But if you decide on a plated piece, we're happy to redip it later on down the road if it is ever needed!
REPAIRS
If your necklace chain breaks, email me and we can get that repaired for you! For other kinds of incidents happening or repairs needed, I can't guarantee that we will always be able to help but I promise to do what I can!
We do not cover damages to jewelry when stored in our jewelry cases or boxes. They're incredibly strong, but damages can potentially happen due to customer error.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOM + IMPORT TAXES
Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.
IS IT REALLY HANDMADE
Often people claim handmade when it isn't truly handmade. Handmade is very important to us though & I can guarantee that we choose to go handmade on every step of the process that is feasible to do so. Every single stone ring starts out as a hand hammered band underneath the metal build up. I could order cheap ring shanks from China to use instead. But I choose to support growing a team of artists helping me instead, and I believe that people can feel the love that is poured into every step being handmade.
