This elegantly simple double spiral is created using just one long strand of sterling silver: It starts in the center of the smaller spiral, tightly swirling outward and counter-clockwise, and then creates the second larger spiral by swirling inward and in the opposite direction. In between the two spirals, the band has plenty of room to create a graceful curve to wrap around your toe or finger. The strand is not quite 1/16 inch in diameter and has a delicate look when it stands alone.
The spiral is an ancient symbol and has come to have many meanings over the years: things feminine, the Cosmos, change, growth, and nature among them. It is also a double symbol of one's life journey: Tracing the spiral outward it represents one's path from the egocentric self outward to a more universal consciousness. Conversely, the inward spiral symbolizes one's journey from the outer material world in search of one's true inner spirit.
* Even though this is an adjustable ring, please be aware that sterling silver is not a material that can be bent very many times before it breaks. To avoid damage to your ring, adjust it to your toe or finger just once so that it can be slipped on and off without bending it, like a fixed size ring. And do not lend it out to anyone else with a different finger size as this usually results in even more bending.
