A sterling silver statement ring with Japanese patterning. The Kiku Chrysanthemum pattern is a symbol of longevity and rejuvenation that would be well suited for a statement ring or wedding band. I designed and created this piece in my home studio - cast in 925 sterling silver in Toronto, and finished by hand. The ring is made to order in any of the sizes listed in the dropdown menu. The ring is ready to ship in 1-2 weeks because it is made to order. Because they are made individually, some very tiny variations may occur between the pictured ring and the one you receive. Want the ring in gold or a different metal? Please contact me to discuss your dream ring. The Chrysanthemum flower was introduced to Japan from trade with China in the 8th century CE. "In Japanese culture, the chrysanthemum flower symbolizes longevity, rejuvenation, and autumn. Some people believed that if you drank chrysanthemum tea you would gain a longer life (Blakemore, 1906-1997)" https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1014&context=prp#:~:text=The%20creation%20of%20the%20Kiku,(710%2D794%20AD).
