A purple desert feather for your finger.
A lovely shield shaped jasper stone, with a mixture of cream and light lilac, with a deeper royal purple on both the top and bottom. It is surrounded by a scalloped silver bezel, and sits on a sterling silver back-plate. The ring shank is brass, and has a hand-drawn feather that has been permanently etched onto the back. This ring has a nice weight to it, yet is extremely comfortable to wear. The interior that bears my makers mark E², is hammered and sanded smooth for a comfortable feel against your skin. The organic and rustic textures are a lovely side-effect of the etching process, and lends a ancient feel to the ring.
The ring was oxidized for color and effect, given some "battle scars", then treated with a polished wax protectant finish that sinks deep into the metal to preserve the rich color for years to come. Over time, the patina will deepen and become even more beautiful. It is intended to look slightly aged and worn from the beginning, I've created it so it has that timeless look.
A much more affordable metal than silver, brass has such a gorgeous and organic color to it. Since the cost of silver has tripled in the past year or two, I have begun using metals such as brass and copper in many of my designs, to offer a more affordable price point. The same amount of labor goes into creating a piece with an alternative metal, but the price can be anywhere from $15.00-$75.00 less than if silver were used, depending on the size of the piece.
Dimensions - 1.15" long and approx .70" wide. The ring shank is .60" wide.
Ring Size: Fits sizes 6.5 to 7.25. Due to the wide band, sizing is different than with narrow bands. They will fit within a size range with comfort.
This piece ships Priority Mail with delivery confirmation and free insurance for the United States, and 1st Class Mail with included insurance for Everywhere Else! If you should require a different shipping method, please contact me prior to purchasing to discuss available options.
FYI - The band around my ring finger in the photos is my wedding band tattoo...NOT a discoloration from any metals that I use for jewelry! I only use sterling silver for my rings, and when I do incorporate brass or copper into my work, it is finished with a lacquer sealant or a special wax, to help prevent discoloration of skin.
