This band will be hand forged from scratch -- not cast, punched out on a press, or forged with pre-formed stock -- in the time-honored tradition of ancient metalsmiths, an art now rarely practiced. It will be made to order; please check shipping for lead time. Click "+MORE" for specifications. Find information on sizing, hammering styles, etc. at ravensrefuge.com.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dan gently hammers this lovely band in our "waterfall" style of hammering, the effect of which tends towards a ripple of light rather than the multi-directional scatter of light created by hammering in typical bands. The satin finish gives the band a more rustic feel. In this variation, there are no hammered bevels.
And because the metal is cold-worked, hand forged bands like this one are denser and stronger than bands that are cast.
The pictured band is crafted from hand-milled stock that is 3mm wide and 1.5mm thick. This listing covers up through size 7. Size 7.25 and above, please contact us for pricing.
The fourth photo shows a set, available in a separate listing in our shop.
