Ocean Blue Opal and Copper Inlay Ring, Stainless Steel Band for Him or Her

DESCRIPTION:
I call this the Copper River Ring because copper flows gracefully around the band surrounded by blue cultured opal. The stainless steel band has a slightly domed interior (comfort fit). I also make a similar ring with green opal, the Winter Copper River Ring:

Many other color options and band materials are possible. I'm happy to discuss a custom version of this design as well, just contact me!

I take care with all my rings to ensure they are highly polished when completed so they can shine as you wear them.

The stainless steel band will be quite durable and good for everyday wearing. The resin/opal inlay will also be durable, but could be damaged by chemicals so I suggest removing the ring if you will be using harsh cleaners or the like.

Completed rings I have in stock will ship within two days of payment. Rings made to order will take 1-3 weeks to ship depending on whether I have the ring blank in stock. I have included the most common ring sizes to choose from when you order, but additional sizes and widths are possible. Contact me for additional options.

Engraving - contact me before ordering
Engraving can be done on the inside of the ring as a custom order. 25-35 characters maximum depending on the ring size to be engraved. My ring core supplier does the engraving, so there is an additional $20 charge (for stainless steel) to cover ordering, engraving, and shipping the custom ring core to me. This usually only takes a few extra days.

Customization
There are many ring materials that may be possible including silver, gold plated, titanium and tungsten among others. There are also almost 100 different cultured opal colors to choose from so if you want customization just contact me and we can work it out.

RETURNS
Ring sales are not returnable if they don't fit, so be sure to confirm your size prior to ordering.

PROCESS:
Each inlay ring starts with a ring blank of the appropriate size and width. The channel(s) is then filled with various materials including a bonding agent such as resin with pigments added and or with stones and metal included. This rough ring is then turned on the lathe using a carbide cutter to smooth the inlay down to the level of the ring surface. This is then wet sanded down to 12000 grit and taken through a series of polishing steps inside and out to bring out the final shine.
