925 Silver Agate Bezel Ring / Day and Night

. Bezel Setting Series . "Day," "Night," "Dawn," and "Dusk" are a series of marble sculptures created by the Renaissance master Michelangelo, housed in the Medici Chapel of the Basilica di San Lorenzo in Florence. This sculptural ensemble features a sarcophagus for each tomb owner, flanked by two reclining figures. The tomb of Giuliano de' Medici is accompanied by "Day" and "Night" below, while the tomb of Lorenzo de' Medici has "Dawn" and "Dusk" beneath. "Day" depicts a man seemingly startled from sleep, his limbs contorted, his expression a mix of fear and mystery. Contrasting this is "Night," a woman leaning her head, preparing to drift into slumber, a crown of stars and moons adorning her brow, her long hair braided and falling to her chest. "Dawn" portrays a maiden in a state of languid awakening, while "Dusk" represents an elderly man struggling to find sleep. Their postures are restless, their expressions enigmatic, symbolizing the eternal immortality and beauty of life and death under the unstoppable, irreversible flow of time. ◌ Day and Night ◌ .

Alternatively, measure an existing ring that fits well, or visit a jewelry store for a professional measurement. ・Sterling Silver Jewelry Care: 925 sterling silver is a soft metal, and normal wear will result in minor scratches. 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 (like dish soap, hand soap, alcohol, etc.) while wearing it. However, it is essential to remove the jewelry before entering hot springs or swimming pools to prevent tarnishing and discoloration. For daily care, simply polish with a silver polishing cloth to restore its luster. If storing for an extended period, seal it in a zipper-lock bag. With prolonged use, sterling silver develops a patina, becoming brighter and acquiring a unique character and glow over time, refined by the passage of time. ◘
