925 Silver Agate Bezel-Set Ring / Dawn & Dusk

. Bezel-Set Collection . "Day," "Night," "Dawn," and "Dusk" are a series of marble sculptures by the Renaissance master Michelangelo, housed in the Medici Chapel of the Basilica di San Lorenzo in Florence. This ensemble comprises a seated effigy of the tomb's occupant, flanked by two reclining figures. The effigies are of Giuliano de' Medici, Duke of Nemours, with "Day" and "Night" beneath his tomb, and Lorenzo de' Medici, Duke of Urbino, with "Dawn" and "Dusk" below his. "Day" depicts a man startled from sleep, his limbs contorted, his expression a blend of fear and mystery. Opposite him, "Night" is a woman reclining, her head tilted as if drifting into slumber, adorned with a crown of stars and moon, her long hair braided down her chest. "Dawn" is a languid maiden, on the cusp of waking, while "Dusk" is an aging man, yearning for sleep but unable to find it. Their postures are restless, their expressions enigmatic, symbolizing the eternal immortality and beauty of life and death amidst the unstoppable, irreversible flow of time. ◌ Dawn & Dusk ◌ .

Alternatively, you can measure an existing ring that fits, or visit a jeweler to have your finger measured. ・Care for Sterling Silver Jewelry: 925 sterling silver is a soft metal, and minor scratches are normal with regular wear. Avoid dropping the jewelry from heights, as this can cause dents on the surface. You can wash your hands or come into contact with common cleaning agents (such as dish soap, hand soap, alcohol, etc.) while wearing the jewelry. However, it is essential to remove silver jewelry before entering hot springs or swimming pools, as this can cause tarnishing and blackening. For daily care, simply wipe with a silver polishing cloth to restore its luster. If storing for an extended period, seal it in a zipper-lock bag. Over time, sterling silver jewelry develops a patina, becoming brighter with wear and exuding a unique charm and luster refined by time ◘
