Handmade wire-wrap unisex statement ring crafted with a single natural snail shell known commonly as the Eye of Shiva or St. Lucy Eye. The Eye of Shiva Shell is approximately 10-12mm in measure. Each is natural, genuine and unique – so no two will be alike. This incredible shell is known throughout the world by various names: the Eye of Shiva (Siva) in India; the Eye of Saint Lucy (Santa Lucia) in Italy and other parts of the Mediterranean; the Mermaid Coin in South Africa; the Eye of Naxos in Greece; and the Cat's Eye in Australia, New Zealand and varying parts of the Pacific Islands. Whatever its name, this potent natural jewel's believed properties are one and the same: it wards off the Evil Eye, promotes luck and prosperity, channels positive energies, and provides protection against malignant forces.

The Shiva Eye Shell 🐚
The organic gemstone's pattern, made by Mother Nature, is actually a protective covering which lies at the maw (opening) of the shell of the Turban snail. Each spiral is similar in pattern, however, each one is unique. The Shiva Eye is composed of calcium carbonate. Its color is always creamy white, yet its beautiful swirl color will vary depending on the snail's diet. In Hinduism, the Shiva Eye symbolizes the creation, destruction and preservation of all the flows of life, spiritual knowledge and the constant change towards the creative visualization. Considered to be the representation of the Third Eye of Shiva, it imbibes a positive effect on one's prana energy flow of the human body by opening the Third Eye Chakra. In addition to watching over the wearer, it is a symbol of knowledge and wisdom, its swirl manifesting development and movement.

HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY ~ Rings are constructed one at a time and therefore no two will be exactly alike. Due to variations in both materials and sourced supplies, slight imperfections are to be expected. Natural beads and stones often contain flaws, blemishes, variations and inclusions. I always do my best to accurately reproduce the designs portrayed in my shop. Please note also that photography presents differently on varying devices.
♡ RING CARE INSTRUCTIONS ♡
The enamel coating on plated copper wire will resist tarnishing, chipping, and peeling. However, tarnish-resistant doesn’t mean tarnish-proof. Almost all metal discolors over time, however, so you can prolong the finish on your ring as well as the vibrancy of your gemstones by following these simple tips:
> AVOID MOISTURE ~ Keep your ring away from moisture. It is best to remove your ring before washing your hands, when showering, bathing, exercising and swimming since contact with water can tarnish the metal and ruin the finish of any gemstones.
> AVOID CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS ~ Perfume, soap, moisturizer, lotion, hand sanitizer and other similar chemicals can discolor the plated cooper crafting wire and can harm natural crystals and gemstones. Be careful.
> AVOID HEAT EXPOSURE ~ Leaving your ring in direct sunlight or exposed to heat for an extended period of time may also cause the metal to discolor. Remember to remove your jewelry when exercising.
> STORE SAFELY ~ Always store your ring in a soft pouch (or even better, in a tarnish resistant jewel box) and never wear your ring to bed when prolonged exposure to the oils and perspiration from your skin will affect the wire's coating barrier.
