Sterling silver 9ct yellow gold
Ring size guide

The Braided Grass ring is an amulet to wear around the finger; an adornment for protection.

Lauren, founder of Ara the altar, created the shape by braiding locally foraged grass, stretching the length out on her weaving loom, gently painting the surface of the braid with melted candle wax, and making a stronger form to withstand the mould making process⁣.

The Braided Grass ring is sustainably handmade in Manchester, UK, by Ara the altar. Choose between recycled sterling silver, recycled 9ct yellow gold, and recycled 9ct white gold.

Sustainably handmade by Ara the altar

The brand

Founded by Lauren King, Ara the altar is inspired by the ancient world's perception of astronomy: Ara is a southern polar constellation that translates to 'the altar' in Latin. In early illustrations, Ara was depicted as an altar with burning incense, rising smoke, or sacrificial offerings. Lauren's interpretation of this led to the sourcing, creating, and offering of beautiful, unique objects for earth-aware individuals.

The jeweller

Working as a shoot producer in the fashion industry, Lauren King, the founder of Ara the altar, felt a deep pull towards the hands-on processes of designing and creating. She challenged herself to learn the ancient art of metalsmithing and from there, began creating designs that celebrate the unique, organic aesthetic of the Earth.

"I aim to tread lightly whilst creating eternal pieces that give the wearer a conscious connection with the beauty of our only planet," says Lauren.

Every adornment from Ara the altar is designed and created by Lauren in her workshop in northwest England, taking influence from astronomy, nature, and the ancient world's relationship with both. Ethics and sustainability influence every decision Lauren makes.
