This ring sets a smooth, polished carnelian cabochon in an adjustable 925 sterling silver band — a warm, vivid everyday piece with a rounded, glassy surface.

It pairs especially well with our Golden Rutilated Quartz Smooth Ring for a warm-toned smooth-cabochon set. How to wear it Many people wear this ring as an everyday piece, appreciating its warm color as a small, energizing lift throughout the day. Others save it for moments that call for extra motivation, such as creative projects, new beginnings, or personal work on confidence and self-acceptance. Because the band is adjustable, it moves easily between fingers to find the most comfortable fit. Care & cleansing Carnelian is fairly hard and durable, rating about 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, so the stone itself tolerates a quick rinse or gentle wipe with a soft cloth. To protect the sterling silver setting, remove the ring before showering, swimming, or applying lotions and perfumes, and store it in a dry pouch when not worn. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can gradually fade the stone's color. Frequently asked questions What is the Carnelian Sterling Silver Ring (Smooth)?
