Posey ring, poesy ring, posie ring...call it what you will! Posey rings date back for centuries and were first given as engagement rings inscribed with sentiments of love. Through time the phrase "posey ring" began to refer to a ring with writing on it.
Still used as wedding and engagement rings, they are now used for promise rings, purity rings, and everyday fun reminders. The messages are up to you, so what kind of reminder do you need? ;)
The rings are made of solid sterling silver and the versatile design looks great on men and women. They are custom hand stamped with your personalized message.
Price is for ONE ring.
If you would like to order more than one, please add a ring to your shopping cart, and then adjust the quantity in your cart.
***These rings are made from scratch. To learn more about the process, you can see me make one start to finish in this photo set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathrynriechert/sets/72157628845803757/
The rings are fabricated and will have a solder joint (a thin line or dot where the 2 ends of the ring come together). I do not plate my rings.

Please read the 'CUSTOM TEXT DETAILS' in the next section of this listing. It will answer that question and more :)
6. How do you place an order?
Add a ring to your shopping cart and proceed through checkout. During checkout you will see a comment box where you can leave the necessary details for your ring. To make it easier, copy and paste this block of text into the comment box, and then fill in the details. If you do not specify where the text should go on the ring, I will put it on the outside by default. Quotation marks will NOT be included on the ring unless you specifically request them in a statement such as 'Yes, please include the quotation marks.'
7. How many rings are included?
Price is for one ring. Rings are priced individually, so that you can order the exact number you need. Please add rings to your cart one at a time in order to select the correct size and font each time.

***FONTS:
I have several fonts for you choose from: block (all uppercase) , traditional (upper and lower case), art nouveau (upper and lower case), and medieval. Please look at the fourth picture in this listing to see the available choices. (You can enlarge the picture by clicking on it.)
I can also stamp numbers, a heart, and a few symbols (:;!,=+&".-?/) If you are requesting a heart symbol, please signify it like this (heart symbol).
***MESSAGE LENGTH AND PLACEMENT:
Custom messages can be a maximum of 22 characters long (including spaces between words).
The message can be all on in the outside, all on the inside, or a combination. If your message is divided between the inside and outside of the band, the COMBINED total of character spaces should not exceed 22. For example, 15 on one side and 7 on the other.
These rings are stamped by hand, as such, letter placement will have a whimsical touch. This embodies the charm of a hand stamped piece and is not to be considered a flaw.
Quotation marks will NOT be included on the ring unless you specifically request them in a statement such as 'Yes, please include the quotation marks.'
*****CUSTOM ORDER POLICIES*****
Rings will be made exactly as written (aside from quotation marks). If a word is capitalized, I will capitalize it on the ring. If a letter is in lowercase, I will stamp it in lowercase if possible for your chosen font (block and medieval fonts do not come in lower case.) Text will be placed on the outside of the ring unless you have requested otherwise.
I cannot accept returns on custom orders, so please make sure the text and size you request are accurate.
If you order the wrong size, a local jeweler should be able to size ring(s) for you, or I can resize them for a fee.
After I have received your order, changes might not be possible. For this reason, a fee to cover time and materials (usually $10-$20) will apply if the change requires me to start over on your piece.

Don't know your RING SIZE?
There are many sizing methods offered online, however many are inaccurate. Having your finger sized at a local jewelry store is the most accurate method, and is what I recommend.
If you need to convert a size from a non-US sizing system, this site is wonderful: http://www.onlineconversion.com/ring_size.htm
I also sell ring sizers in this link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/739946594/reusable-ring-sizer-tool-to-find-your?ref=shop_home_active_2&frs=1
If you order the wrong size, resizing is offered for a fee. Please check my shop policies for details.
