Radiant Band

'''Made of purest gold and chips of moonstone, this ring displays exquisite craftsmanship. As superb as the crafting is, however, it cannot compare to the sheer scintillating sparkle of the large multifaceted waterstone set in its centre.'''

'''Burning as bright as a star on a clear night even in low ambient light, this waterstone is known as the Sun's Radiance. In the Radiant Band it is set centrally, a bold brilliant centre to the stylised sunburst of worked gold, moonstone, and smaller waterstone chips.'''

''The Sun's Radiance is a waterstone of great renown, a jewel that has for centuries been a part of House Mikin as dowry, passed down through in-House marriages for generations. Lost along with Hesty Mikin's finger when she and her family were ambushed and beset by wildlings, the Sun's Radiance was rediscovered only in the last century.''

''It was the respected Nelle Mikin, wife of the House Head of her time, who had the Radiance re-set in honour of her only offspring: Vellae Mikin, Light-Chosen Shadowscourge, upon her marriage. Vellae went on to serve the church with honour, her ring the Radiant Band displaying the symbol of her faith on her whip hand, and none could stand before her.''

It passed from her upon her death in the year 621, and as neither of her twin daughters saw fit to marry it came finally to another noble.
