Story of O - Handforged Sterling Silver Ring (in stock 5, 6, 7, 7.5, 8, 9.5, 11 US)

Description

This subtle ring is another of the modern varieties of a style of ring made popular by "The Story of O", a fiction piece by Pauline Reage and is popular in some alternate lifestyles, including the BDSM culture, goth and others.

In the book, such a ring is worn by a female submissive/"slave" after she has finished her "training" at Roissy. Those wearing the ring are obliged to be obedient to any man who belongs to the secret society of Roissy (whose emblem is the triskelion), and must allow him to do absolutely everything with them that he pleases.

In current usage, it is not necessarily man = dominant, woman = submissive.

This is a simple handforged sterling silver 14g half round band, with a soldered 20g loop, through which is placed a 20 g sterling wire with a 3mm round sterling silver bead.

This ring is intended to be subtle, for wear anywhere. Sterling silver. Currently IN STOCK and READY to SHIP: size 5, 6, 7, 7.5, 8, 9.5, 11 US.

CUSTOM ORDERS ACCEPTED for any size, as well as plain band shanks (more traditional), rather than half round.
