Chalcedony Flat Faceted 925 Silver Ring
Chalcedony is a soft, milky-toned variety of cryptocrystalline quartz prized for its gentle translucence, traditionally associated with calm and emotional support. This flat, faceted stone is set in a .925 sterling silver band, cut so the faceting catches the light across its surface for a clean, modern look.

Meaning & history
Chalcedony is a member of the quartz family, made up of tightly packed microscopic crystals rather than one large crystal, which gives it a smooth, slightly waxy translucence rather than sharp clarity. In crystal tradition, its soft, even tone is linked to a soothing, nurturing quality and gentle communication, associated with the throat chakra and everyday balance and wellness. It pairs naturally with other quiet-toned pieces in our crystal rings collection.
How to wear it
The adjustable band fits most sizes comfortably. Chalcedony's Mohs 6.5–7 hardness holds up well to regular wear, though it's best removed before heavy manual work, exercise, or swimming to protect the setting and the flat-faceted surface.
Care & cleansing
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth; a mild soap-and-water rinse followed by thorough drying is fine, since chalcedony is not water-soluble. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and prolonged soaking, and store the ring away from harder stones that could scratch its surface. Between wears, some like to rest crystal jewelry near a smudge from our smudging and herbs collection — a personal ritual, not a cleaning requirement.
