This weighty little hag stone ring (size US 8.5, or UK Q 1/4) is made of 100% recycled sterling silver: unique, organically smelted, and forged by hand.

Sometimes called a fairy stone, a witches stone, or Odin stone, this silver version is inspired by these magical holey stones usually formed by running water. Our silver version is formed by fire, quenched in water and air.
