A wide, flat brass band that I make to order in your size. I cut a strip of brass, bend it round, and solder the seam closed. Then I texture the outside by hand, so no two come out quite the same.
There are two finishes. Hammered has overlapping round facets from the hammer face that catch the light. Bark has uneven lengthwise ridges that look a bit like tree bark.
I file the edges smooth and round so it slides on easily and doesn't dig in when you bend your finger. At 7mm it's wide enough to wear on its own and works as a thumb ring too.
Brass is mostly copper, so it can leave a green mark on some people's skin, especially with sweat or water. I coat every ring with shellac to help with that and to keep the brass from tarnishing. The shellac will wear off over time with regular wear. After that the ring will slowly darken, and a polishing cloth brings the shine back, or you can let it age.
Because each one is made to order, please give me your ring size at checkout. If you're not sure of your size, send me an email and I'll help you work it out.
