Quick Answer
The Ethereal Black is a stacking ring from Bloody Mary Metal's Dark Side collection, featuring an oxidized sterling silver finish and three tiny stone settings in a leafy wishbone design—making it a distinctive choice for those who want a subtle yet edgy black gem look.
Why the Ethereal Black Stands Out
The Ethereal Black isn't a pendant—it's a stacking ring, which sets it apart from typical Dark Side jewelry. Its leafy wishbone silhouette and three tiny stone settings create a delicate, organic look that contrasts with the bold, oxidized black finish.
Because it's designed for stacking, you can combine it with other rings to create a personalized, layered effect. The oxidized sterling silver gives it a dark, almost black appearance that deepens over time, adding character with wear.
Caring for Oxidized Sterling Silver
Oxidized silver requires a different care routine than polished silver. Avoid harsh silver cleaners, as they can strip the dark patina. Instead, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and moisture.
Store the ring separately in a cool, dry place—preferably in a zip-lock bag or jewelry pouch—to prevent scratching and to slow down natural tarnishing. Keep it away from perfumes, lotions, and household chemicals.
Ethereal Black FAQ
Is Ethereal Black a pendant or a ring?
It's a stacking ring, not a pendant. The name 'Ethereal Black' refers to the black oxidized finish, not a gemstone type.
What does 'oxidised' mean?
Oxidized sterling silver has a darkened surface layer created through a chemical treatment. This gives the ring its dark, gothic look and provides a natural contrast to the stone settings.
Can I wear Ethereal Black every day?
Yes, but like all oxidized silver, it will develop a natural patina over time. To maintain the dark finish, avoid abrasive cleaners and remove the ring before swimming or applying lotions. Consider a dedicated jewelry cloth for gentle cleaning.
Is Ethereal Black available in gold?
Currently, this piece is cast in Sterling Silver. The product description notes that you can email [email protected] for gold availability, but this is not an active option at the moment.
How do I style Ethereal Black?
Because it's a stacking ring, pair it with other thin or textured rings on the same finger or adjacent fingers. Its dark tone works well with both silver and black jewelry. Mix metals carefully—oxidized silver pairs best with darker or gunmetal tones.
