HOPE IS THE THING. Ring.
LISTING IS FOR ONE RING
Each band is between 2.5 and 3mm wide (from finger to outer edge).
Narrow: 5mm tall. Mid: 7.5mm tall. Wide: 9mm tall.
MADE TO ORDER. Please note the processing times as these are MADE TO ORDER. Due to the nature of the pieces, they need to be made to your size. Please allow time for them to be carved, cast and finished before then being posted to you. This will take around 4-6 weeks. If there are any unforeseen delays, I will contact you to let you know.
Another point to keep in mind: the finish (colours/pattern) varies piece to piece. If you’d prefer a different finish, please get in touch.
Sterling Silver and Brass. Carved brass band, lined with sterling silver.
These rings were made as an addition to the ‘Make Jewellery Not War’ collection. As the collection revolves around positives overcoming negativity, the idea of these was simple; a little golden glow to carry around with you. A slightly battered/textured band, with a strong warmth.
10% of this sale will be donated to Medecins Sans Frontieres.

RING SIZING
When ordering rings it is the customers responsibility to ensure that they have ordered the correct size. For further advice on sizing, please contact me directly and I will be happy to assist.
If you are unsure of your ring size, don’t worry - I’m here to help. Simply, choose the ‘I’m not sure of my size’ option when you add your ring of choice to the basket and check out. Before making your ring, I will post you a ring sizer and a postage label to enable you to take your size and post the gauge back to me. From this, I shall create the ring and post it to you as soon as it’s finished.
*This may add time to the originally quoted processing and making time, as I am unable to start the ring until the sizer is posted back. All gauges and sizers vary slightly in size so the most accurate thing for me to do (if you’re unable to visit the workshop) is to take measurements from the exact sizer you used.*
Ring sizes fluctuate with temperature; make sure you don’t measure when you’re too cold (hands will shrink slightly) or too hot (hands will swell slightly).

These textured rings will be packaged up in the Metalsmith packaging pictured above.
I am a UK based maker. Postage to the UK is free; it should take 2-3 days upon the product being finished. International is £5.00. Depending on where you are in the world, this could take between 4 and 14 days. Please contact me for more information.
TAKE CARE
-Avoid wearing whilst hand washing; soap, water and continuous movement will result in a much shinier piece. It may also cause contact dermatitis to your finger if soap gets caught under the ring.
-Wearing silver will keep tarnish at bay. The oils in your skin keep it ‘healthy’.
-To clean, warm water and fairy liquid do the job well. Be gentle as you want to preserve the finish.
-The nature of rings: they will get shinier with prolonged use. The more friction against the surface, the more they are burnished. If you’re finding the finish has changed a lot and want to restore it, please get in contact and I can sort this out for you.
