Verdant Guardian – 2.27ct Deep Green Diopside Boundary Ring | Skadi’s Winter Frost

Gift Ready Luxury
Verdant Guardian, a deep green Diopside boundary ring in Sterling Silver sits bold and cold on the hand, a 2.27 ct deep rich green oval that looks like a forest heart caught in winter light. The faceted face throws sharp flashes of evergreen and shadow, framed by bright sterling shoulders that echo ice along a riverbank. This sits in Skadi’s Winter Frost current, built for witches and for dark feminine practitioners who work in clear, unapologetic boundary magic.

Geological Information
Diopside is a calcium magnesium silicate, CaMgSi₂O₆, in the pyroxene group that crystallizes in the monoclinic system and takes a bright vitreous polish. On the Mohs scale it sits around 5.5 to 6.5, which means it prefers mindful ring wear and rewards it with depth of color and strong light return. Many gem grade diopsides come from high grade metamorphic and ultramafic rocks that formed during Proterozoic mountain building between roughly 1.8 and 0.9 billion years ago, while diopside as a species also appears in Archean mantle rocks more than 3 billion years old. On your hand or altar it keeps that sense of pressure forged honesty, green fire held in a compact, workable form.

I do not offer resizing on this ring. For a perfect, long term fit, I strongly recommend working with a trusted local jeweler; they can size sterling silver or gold quickly and at relatively low cost.

Energetic and Ritual Uses:
Green diopside works in the lane of grounded heart, clean truth, and Earth rooted courage. This ring suits you when you are done performing niceness and ready to act from what you actually know, not what others prefer you to feel. Many witches use diopside to support boundary setting that still honors connection, and dark feminine practitioners often lean on it for spine work during hard conversations or structural change. The stone does not fix your life, it steadies your nervous system and focus so you move through your own work with clarity and less self betrayal.

Suggested Workings:

• Wear this ring during negotiations, performance reviews, or hard talks where you need to hold both care and non negotiable lines.

• Place it on a sigil for sustainable boundaries, with a line written beneath naming what contact you accept and what you release.

• Set it on your altar on dark soil or salt while you journal through a decision, then put it on when you commit to your choice.

• Pair it with a white or icy blue candle for Skadi aligned workings that ask for clear sight and consequences that match behavior.

Optional Add On Ritual Services:
You may choose extra ritual options at checkout if you want this piece to arrive already woven into focused spellwork.

Custom Incantation Card:
You name a focus such as boundary clarity, sustainable work, protection, courage, or honest connection. I write a short, direct incantation that links your focus with green diopside’s grounded heart line and this specific ring. The words appear handwritten on a small basil seeded paper card, fit for your altar, mirror, or jewelry box, ready to speak whenever you wear or work with the piece.

Ritual Charging:
I place the ring on my working altar, name it for you, and charge it toward your stated intention. I work with candle flame, focused breath, and sound to wake the metal and stone to your lane of practice. The materials remain exactly as described, sterling silver and diopside, aligned to your focus, not altered in any physical way.

Ritual and Incantation Bundle:
This option combines both the ritual charging and the custom incantation card. Your ring arrives carrying completed altar work toward your chosen focus, and you receive a specific phrase to anchor that work in your own rituals. As always, ritual work supports your craft and decisions; it does not guarantee outcomes, override consent, or replace real world action.

Living With Your Ring
Sterling silver likes regular wear, but it still benefits from care. Remove this ring before swimming, sleeping, heavy exercise, or applying lotions, perfume, or hair products so the diopside and metal stay clear. Store it in the box or a soft pouch away from hard objects that might scratch the surface. Use the included polishing cloth on the silver only, with light pressure, and avoid aggressive rubbing across the stone.

For energetic care, rest the ring near a small bowl of salt or on clean soil overnight when it feels heavy or overworked. Indirect sunlight or soft moonlight through a window helps reset the piece without stressing the stone. Each time you put it on, take one steady breath and name what you are choosing to stand for that day. When you take it off, you may speak a short line releasing any energy that is not yours to carry.

Packaging and Personal Touches:

Every order includes a 1 oz YuleWind body butter sample, a proprietary aromatic essential oil blend that evokes a winter morning by the ocean, evergreen light, and a yule hearth, with a retail value of 14 dollars. You receive a handwritten thank you note on basil seeded handmade paper that you may plant when you are ready sealed with wax, for that private, old world correspondence feel. The ring ships in a black jewelry box with crinkle cut paper and tissue wrapping, and an anti tarnish polishing cloth is included with every jewelry order. Selantris Velcryn designed the unboxing to feel like opening a spell kit created specifically for you.
