Beaded Reliquary Ring

More than meets the eye, the Beaded Reliquary Ring features a pivoting interior face, available for a hidden length of hair or a secret engraving. The earliest reliquary rings were medieval, built to house a tiny religious relic. Georgian and Victorian jewelers borrowed the principle for sentiment rather than sanctity, concealing hair or an inscription within the band. The Beaded Reliquary Ring is offered with a 3.5mm wide band featuring rounded borders and a studded circumference. Crafted in 100% recycled 14k gold or sterling silver, a size 8 ring weighs approximately 5.5 grams. We offer three engraved font options for personalization: laser engraved script or J.H. Gothic (our entirely custom typeface), and our hand engraved script. For hairwork, we are fortunate to partner with Gina Iacovelli, owner and artist of Mementos Entwined, who offers custom hairwork as an accompaniment to the ring; email mementos.entwined@gmail.com to inquire. Please note that the Beaded Reliquary Ring cannot be resized due to design constraints. We are delighted to offer this style in higher karat metals and custom sizes.
