Why Silver Rings?
I’ve been asked many times why do we choose to work mostly with sterling silver and why we decided to maintain classical style of our rings. Here is my answer.
Classically designed sterling silver rings and necklaces represent endless styles that are always in high demand. No matter what the fashion statement; classic cuts and designs always enhance and command attention.
The rings and necklaces can house some of the most beautiful and precious stones such as sapphire with its deep royal blue and cubic zirconia that is available in a variety of colors. Sterling silver jewellery is not only a representation of fine craftsmanship, beauty, and high-fashion; but the metal is highly regarded for its health benefits and its hypoallergenic characteristics.
Aside from its beauty and health benefits; silver rings and necklaces are very affordable in comparison to gold and other metals. Additionally, the silver content is high in these pieces of jewellery which means they contain a greater degree of purity than equivalent gold pieces in the same price range.
Also, a silver ring or a silver necklace is so neutral in tone that they can be worn with just about anything and for any occasion. It would be a near impossible feat to find an outfit that silver does not complement. Interestingly, the neutrality of silver also means that it complements any skin tone.
Without question, a silver ring or necklace can be dressed up or down effortlessly. Both men and women are able to find a wide range of styles to suit their tastes. As an added bonus, silver is very easy to maintain. Also, color restoration of a silver ring or necklace can even be done at home.
What to do when a ring is stuck on a swollen finger?
My fingers swell during a really hot weather or during extensive exercising, so sometimes I have a problem with taking off my wedding ring. If this just happened to you and you need help, please read our tips on how to remove a ring from a swollen finger.
First rule is, don’t panic. From my experience, it’s better not try to tug and pull a ring too much, because it can cause additional swelling to your finger and can be really painful. You can try to twist (not pull!) a ring a little from side to side, but if it stuck really hard, try to use cold water and soap or any concentrated dishwasher liquid using the same method of twisting it around your finger. A water and soap usually works perfectly for me.
Other method of taking a stuck ring off, is to lubricate your finger using a hand lotion, Vaseline, butter, oil or anything else which is just slippery. A great product to use is… Windex. Yes, I really mean a glass cleaner, but if you suspect that you can have an allergy reaction, don’t use it. Spray Windex or put any other slippery product on your finger and once again, don’t try to pull your ring off, just twist it around a finger very gently.
One of techniques I’ve read about (never tried by myself, but people swear this works perfectly) is to stick a dental floss (or just a very thin string) under your ring, leaving a small tail to use later on and wrap it around your finger. Each wrap should be close to the one before, but it shouldn’t be wrap too tightly. Now grab the small tail you left and start to unwinding a dental floss and a ring should slip off by itself.
If this don’t help, and your ring is badly stuck, try to just hydrate yourself. Try to limit the amount of salt in your food and drink a lot of water. Elevate your hand above your heart for a few minutes, to bring swelling effect down. After some time you can try to repeat one of methods of removing ring I described above and I really hope this time you are more lucky!
But most importantly – be always safe. If at any point you feel that it’s impossible to do it by yourself, or this is giving you too much pain, and your finger (and sometimes even whole hand) is swollen so much that you are loosing blood circulation or you feel that your finger is broken, you have to seek a medical help immediately. They will probably cut your ring off, which can be really sad for you, especially if this is your precious wedding ring, but don’t worry. Any local jeweller can repair and also re-size this for you.
But remember, if your finger was really damaged, it needs some time to be fully cured, so try not to wear a ring on it for some time. Usually your finger needs about a couple of weeks to fully recover.

Harry Fay – A Proud Family Run Jewellery Shop
Sitting by a Christmas table our family shares more just than a festive dinner. It’s a special time when we try to leave our work aside and spend the time together. And that’s not always easy as we work together on our family jewellery company.
The company was started nearly twenty years ago by my Uncle and my Father. My uncle was by then a Certified Master Jeweller and traveled across oceans (literally!) to learn and practice the jewelry craft in North America (hence the spelling). We particularly mastered a skill of designing classical rings – in silver, gold and platinum. Their well-proportioned elegant ways still can be seen in our contemporary rings: Adoria, Esteri and the latest arrival to the collection: Tiamo. They are simply timeless.
Having a perfect design is one thing and having a perfect product is something else. My uncle and my father has to make a decision how they will produce the rings for people to enjoy. The choice was simple: they decided not to compromise. Instead they choose to always deliver excellent quality, hand finished and carefully crafted products. Every ring, earring and necklace was and is carefully prepared, measured and polished. Every stone – be that a cubic zirconia, sapphire or a shiny diamond – is placed and set by hand. No glue, no tricks – just a perfect manual work! That’s why are proud of every piece of jewellery we deliver. And this is our promise – we will always deliver the best we can!
