This beautiful spinner ring is an Iron Mountain Arts 2023 Limited Edition, hand crafted from sterling silver and a stunning 4mm creamy blue Larimar cabochon. Base ring is 20g, 10mm wide.
Larimar is the tradename for a rare blue variety of the silicate mineral pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic, around the city of Barahona. Its coloration varies from bluish white, light-blue, light-green, green-blue, turquoise blue, turquoise green, turquoise blue-green, deep green, dark green, to deep blue, dark blue and purple, violet and indigo and the larimar can come in many varieties and color mix.
Larimar is said to enlighten and heal in a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual way. It stimulates the heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras facilitating inner wisdom and outer manifestation. It represents peace and clarity, radiating healing and love energy. It is recommended for people who are stressed and it is said to be a healing stone.
Because Larimar is recommended for stress, in The Book of Stones (Berkeley, CA: North Atlantic Books, 2007) by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian, it is said Larimar can be helpful for for phobias, panic attacks, stress-related imbalances, and excessive anger or fear.
They also say it aids in breaking down the walls one has built around the heart for defense, and allows for emotional release and the clearing of deep emotional patterns. It helps one to reconnect to a previous, more natural state of playfulness and joyful childlike energy.
Larimar is said to help us to view events from a different perspective; it softens, enlightens and heals in a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual way, stimulates the heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras facilitating inner wisdom and outer manifestation. It represents peace and clarity radiating healing and love energy. It is recommended for people who are stressed. It is said to be a healing stone.
In The Book of Stones, Robert Simmons writes "Larimar is a stone of tremendous benefit to the throat chakra, providing the power of clear communication and the emotional strength and stability that enable one to speak from the heart. . . .
"It supports a state of confident well-being and awareness of one's capacities."
"Relaxation is one of the benefits of Larimar. It soothes the emotional body, releasing undesirable attachments and relieving stress. Wearing the stone, one feels surrounded in an oasis of calm, always aware of the fundamental 'all-rightness' of the world, regardless of transient circumstances. Larimar can cool hot tempers and guide excess passion into peace."
"In meditation, Larimar can help one see and release oneself from unhealthy inner bonds to other people, or to principles which do not serve one's highest good."
"Placing Larimar stones in one's home or work environment will assure a pleasant and serene atmosphere. Using the stone on the throat chakra in a pendant or in a laying-on-the-stones treatment, will help to unleash the voice of one's deepest wisdom."
And, while no one knows for sure about the effects of Larimar, no one can deny its obvious beauty and the impact of a stone this glorious is indisputable.
If you are unsure of your ring size, I recommend that you download and print out the following free PDF ring sizer. Be sure that you do not fit the printout to your page! http://www.licketycut.com/printableringsizer.pdf.

Please bear in mind that different mandrel manufacturers and different sizing methods may result in sizing variations. Remember that a wider ring needs a little extra give in the size.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there a possible variation in color or texture?
Please remember that if a piece is listed as a multiple each piece is still custom made and if textured, antiqued, flame-painted or patinaed may vary a little in color and texture. Temperature and humidity do affect reactions of different metals and some beads and stones have natural variations. Colors may vary slightly from monitor to monitor as well.
What if the spinner on my ring becomes snug during shipping?
If you experience difficulty with the spinners on this or any spinner ring - mine or a different one - please be aware that there is a possibility that the shipping process *may* set the spinners out of kilter a tad. All items are packed with care, however if you ever do experience this try the following:
1. Place your spinner ring on a firm item that will fit snugly inside the ring.
2. Take the blunt edge of a table or butter knife & wrap a paper towel around it a couple of times to prevent marring the surface of the silver.
3. Gently tap along the culprit spinner in the same manner as if loosening the lid of a tight jar.
4. Repeat the process until the spinner loosens, or until it spins at your ease.
What if I'm not comfortable adjusting my spinner tightness?
If you have a snug spinner for any reason and have ordered it from me I will happily re-adjust it for you.
Can my jewelry be re-polished if the bright polish dulls?
All jewelry tarnishes with time and wear. Polishing at home will keep the tarnish off, however if you have purchased a piece from me which has a deep, bright polish and would like it re-polished I would be happy to help you keep your jewelry looking beautiful.
How can I keep my skin from turning green when I wear copper?
If your skin turns green when wearing copper then you need to place a barrier between your skin and the metal. Depending on the piece you can rub the inside with a micro-crystalline wax such as Renaissance wax, paint the contact surface with a couple of coats of clear nail polish or clear enamel paint or spray (I use Krylon for my copper-sensitive clients). If you have a copper cuff try adding a leather lining with a contact cement or epoxy.
Can 925 Sterling or Argentium Sterling Silver turn your finger green or other colors?
Yes. It is very rare, but it can happen. Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by mass of silver and 7.5% by mass of other metals, usually copper, or germanium for argentium silver. There can be quite a bit of variance from manufacturer to manufacturer in that other 7.5% and that is why one sterling silver ring may cause a reaction while another does not. When sterling silver tarnishes, the jewelry turns black, which can then rub off on skin and cause black discoloration. People with moist skin may also notice green discoloration. The green finger discoloration is a reaction to the copper alloy in the sterling silver, especially if you have body acidity is higher due to medication, diet, etc.
How to stop finger from turning green when wearing silver
Soaking the ring for a day or two in a 50/50 mixture of household ammonia and water will take care of the problem.
Another solution is to simply clean the ring every day with a silver polishing cloth . After about a week or two, the reaction will stop occurring
Applying a layer of Jeweler's Skin Guard (which we can provide for you) on the inside of the ring will prevent perspiration & body sweat from reaching the metal and reacting to it. Clear nail polish will also work.
Keep your skin dry when wearing jewelry. Remove ring before showering, sleeping, exercising, strenuous activities, or using cleaning products.
Keep your jewelry clean. If the piece begins to tarnish, clean it immediately.

What do you mean by "Gold Filled"?
Jewelers create gold filled jewelry by pressure bonding an actual layer of gold to another metal. Although a gold filled piece of jewelry is not sold gold, it has the same desirable properties and look of solid gold. Filled jewelry has about 97% more gold than plated jewelry.
It won’t tarnish and will not rub off or turn colors. Wearers who are sensitive to certain metals can wear gold filled without worries of an allergic reaction. Although the layer of gold in gold filled pieces varies depending on the manufacturer it is in all cases significantly thicker than regular gold plating (the next category of gold jewelry). Gold filled accessories can be worn even daily without fear of fading or rubbing off for many cases as long as 30 years.
What is the current production time?
Production times vary on my work volume (I really do work full time :) ) and the average number of orders that I have to create. Please remember that each piece is custom-made. Iron Mountain Arts was impacted by the winter conditions from 2/14-2/20. We were without power, water, and internet during that time and were unable to work on any orders. 1 have started production again but due to the backlog and unusual order volume production is running between 2-4 business weeks. Please be patient and I will get each order created as soon as humanly possible. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this chaotic time!
