This copper ring is made by hand in a Munich artist's workshop. DERBY scores with its warm luster and differently twisted ends. In size 160 it weighs 6 grams. The 3 mm thick copper strand is drawn and rolled several times during production, and then shaped into its final form. It goes without saying that it is then finely ground and polished to a high shine.
Since the ring is open, it can be enlarged by about 3 numbers, or possibly made smaller. We will gladly do this for you if your new piece of jewelry does not fit perfectly. There will be no additional costs. DERBY is especially appreciated by women, but also by men with fun in the special, and is best suited as a friendship ring. A nice birthday gift but also a surprise for the copper wedding anniversary. This is celebrated when a couple has "survived" the darned first 7 years of marriage.
In our ETSY store we offer you a large selection of unusual rings and bracelets. All made of solid copper and in three sizes. The artist gets to work only after receiving your order and makes your piece of jewelry with great care in pure handwork.
Good news: We ship worldwide free of charge.
To the USA and Canada the journey takes up to ten days, to Australia, New Zealand or Asian countries the bracelet is on the way according to experience 2- 4 weeks.
If that takes too long, we also ship by express (with dpd or UPS). Within Germany the package will be there after 24 hours. For this we charge 5 Euro plus.
Overseas it will be expensive: We charge 30 Euro. Sounds like a lot, but it only covers just under 2/3 of the actual costs.
Example of delivery times: San Francisco: 4 days, Sydney: 7 days.
How can you determine the ring size?
We make our rings in 12 different sizes.
If you don't have a ring gauge handy, take an existing ring that fits snugly on the finger you want, and please measure the inside diameter to the nearest millimeter. If you are nothing, ask a jeweler in your city, he has appropriate equipment, or write to us, then we will send you a ring measurement card.
We will make your ring in 0.5mm increments in any size you specify. Most of the time one of the 12 standard sizes we offer in our store will fit.
If your jewelry does not fit perfectly, we will of course exchange it for a slightly larger or smaller version. There will be no additional costs.
Care of your copper ring:
Our copper jewelry is made of solid copper and is not surface treated. Like silver, copper will darken if you don't wear it for a while. But you can clean it easily: with a paste for silver and brass care - or with a toothbrush and toothpaste. That really works!
PS: Is sustainability an issue for you? Then you will be thrilled by copper. Hardly anyone knows that more than 80 percent of the copper ever mined is still in circulation today. The pharaohs associated the metal with the "Ankh symbol". It means "eternal life". A fitting name, because the metal can be recycled without restriction. It can be remelted any number of times. Somewhere in the world, therefore, there is certainly still copper, which was already in use in ancient Egypt. Perhaps also in your ring ?
