Mermaid Ring-- Sterling Silver

Description

A lovely, sterling silver ring featuring a woman's face with her hair spiraling and swirling outward to create the shank. This ring is just over 1/2" at its widest point.

In its original state, this ring was a marvelous, vintage, copper finding. I was so taken with the contrast of this rustically carved and weathered face against the ornate waves of her hair that I turned it into a ring. I then went ahead and had a mold made of it and had it cast in sterling silver. I can't take credit for the actual carving of this piece (although I wish I could), only how it was utilised.

She's so charming and reminds of the mermaid figureheads sometimes seen on the prow of old ships.

This ring is currently a size 8, but can be sized anywhere from 6 or larger. Please let me know your preference in the comments section.
