Grounded Shadow – 14.15ct Smoky Quartz Shadow Anchor Ring | Skadi’s Winter Frost

Gift Ready Luxury
Shadow Guardian, a Smoky Quartz Shadow Anchor Ring in Rhodium Plated Sterling Silver holds a 14.15 ct oval of cool brown smoke, like peat fog caught in winter light. The high domed face shows tight honeycomb style facets, so movement throws small, sharp flashes instead of one broad glare. This sits in Skadi’s Winter Frost collection, built for witches and for dark feminine practitioners who work in grounded shadow, not in sugarcoat.

Geological Information
Smoky quartz is a brown to charcoal variety of quartz, silicon dioxide, that crystallizes in the trigonal system. Quartz sits at 7 on the Mohs scale, so this stone handles regular ring wear with basic care and avoids the fragility of softer altar companions. The smoky color forms when natural radiation reshapes trace elements inside the crystal lattice, a slow darkening that aligns with its role in grounding and discharge work. Quartz as a mineral family traces back billions of years in Earth’s crust, which is why it behaves like a steady, glassy worker on the body and on the altar rather than a fleeting trend.

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:
Smoky quartz lives in the lane of grounding, discharge, and shadow tending, a stone that helps you send excess charge down and out instead of letting it spin in your head. This ring suits you when grief, anger, or secondhand chaos sit in your ribcage and you need your body steady enough to choose your next move. Witches work with smoky quartz to anchor banishing, cord cutting, and post-ritual come down, and dark feminine practitioners use it to sit with their own shadow without flinching or leaking. The stone does not erase your feelings, it holds them while you decide which ones serve you and which ones leave.

Suggested workings:

• Slide the ring on before hard conversations or crowded events and name one feeling you anchor into the stone instead of your nervous system.

• Rest it on a petition or sigil for grounded release, then wear it while you clear out emails, closets, or relationships that have gone stale.

• Place the ring beside a dark candle and a small dish of salt during shadow journaling, then put it on afterward to seal the work into your body.

• Wear it during grief rituals, memorial days, or anniversaries when you need to stay present with loss without collapsing.

Optional Add On Ritual Services:
You may choose extra ritual options at checkout so the piece arrives already woven into your focus.

Custom Incantation Card:
You name a focus such as grounding after conflict, grief tending, shadow integration, discharge of psychic static, or protection from emotional spillover. I write a short, precise incantation that links smoky quartz, the silver setting, and your chosen intention in plain working language. The words appear handwritten on a small basil seeded card, ready for your altar, mirror, or jewelry box, meant to be spoken when you put the ring on or take it off.

Ritual Charging:
I place the ring on my working altar, name it for you, and charge it toward your stated focus. Candle flame, focused breath, and sound move around the stone while I hold your intention in clear, contained language. The metal and stone remain exactly as described; this is energetic work only, tuned to meet your craft rather than overwrite it.

Ritual and Incantation Bundle:
This option combines the altar charging and the custom incantation card. Your ring arrives carrying completed ritual work toward your focus, and you receive a specific phrase to use in ongoing practice. Ritual support strengthens your own decisions and spellwork; it does not guarantee outcomes, override consent, or replace the real world action your situation still requires.

Living With Your Ring
Rhodium plated sterling silver keeps a bright, cool surface, then over years of wear it may reveal hints of the softer sterling tone along high contact edges. Remove this ring before swimming, sleeping, heavy lifting, or applying lotions, perfume, or hair products so the plating and stone stay clear. Store it in the included box or in a soft pouch away from harder pieces to limit abrasion. Use the included polishing cloth on the metal surfaces with light pressure, and avoid scrubbing the stone or the plating.

For energetic care, rest the ring on or near a small dish of salt, clean soil, or a windowsill with indirect sunlight or soft moonlight when it feels heavy. Take one slow breath and speak a brief line, such as “I send this weight down to ground,” each time you remove it. When you put it back on, name what work you are stepping into so the piece stays in step with your current spell, not an old story.

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.
