Sterling Silver Hammered Patina Ring ~ Handmade Textured Ring Band ~ Contemporary Jewellery

A stunning contemporary ring with a unique hammered and patinated texture.

I make this ring entirely by hand from a sheet of sterling silver and hammer it to create this beautiful faceted texture. I tumble polish it for a few hours to smooth away any sharp edges, and then I patina this ring to speed up the natural oxidation process of sterling silver. Finally, I polish it again to reveal the texture. The result is a subtle rainbow of dark blues, greens and purples in the grooves, and a shiny polish on the high points. Beautiful!

This ring is approximately 5mm wide (0.2”), and the inside of the ring is very smooth and polished to make it easy to put on and take off. The edges are slightly flared and rounded for extra comfort.

If you prefer a highly polished finish, this ring is also available without the patina – have a look at https://www.etsy.com/listing/226997632.

Every piece I make is hallmarked with my own unique mark (a tiny rose and my initials). In accordance with French law, my hallmark is registered with the national assay office, which is a guarantee of quality and ensures that the origin of this ring will always be traceable.
