Per Aspera Ad Astra — “Through Hardships, to the Stars.” This handmade .925 sterling silver ring is a reminder that struggle can be part of the path forward. I make each ring to order in my workshop in Billings, Montana, USA. The phrase is formed in raised lettering—not stamped—and antiqued by hand for crisp contrast and a rugged, timeless finish.
